You took a statement about one indoor track and you generalized it to all indoor tracks.
No, I didn't. It wasn't the only statement about indoor tracks claiming that. But so what. Such claims remain in the realm of speculation. But if it was conceded as being possibly true then that means Hocker isn't necessarily faster outdoors than indoors. So far, he isn't.
Yes, you did. You quoted someone's statement about BU to try to diminish a time that Hocker ran at JDL. Maybe you thought Hocker ran his 3:45 at BU, and now you're scrambling to try to save face.
Can't you just admit for once that you made a mistake?

No, I didn't think that. There is no fact that says any indoor track is as fast as an outdoor track; that is speculation. But I based an argument on that speculation to say that Hocker's 3:46 (he's only a few hundreds of a second faster - he didn't run 3:45) is still a long way slower than Ingebrigtsen's best. But you are too much of a clod to follow that.

Your statement about Hocker's performance at JDL was based on a quote about BU. That is extremely stupid.
And now you try to alter the clock to claim a 3:45 is a 3:46. No matter how big your ego is, you cannot alter time. A 3:45 is a 3:45. Cope and seethe.

Actually it's 3:46, give or take a few hundredths of a sec. Still a way behind Ingebrigtsen and even Nuguse.
Actually his listed time started with 3:45 on the official results. Keep coping and seething.
It may have started with 3:45 but it finished closer to 3:46. Only 6 hundreths of a second below. You don't count the .94 sec?
Anything from 3:45.00 to 3:45.99 is a 3:45. You can say his time was closer to 3:46 than it was to 3:44, but not "closer to 3:45" because 3:45.94 IS 3:45.
If you start out in New South Wales and then you cross over the border into Queensland, you're not "closer to New South Wales than Queensland" after you've crossed that border. You're now in Queensland.
No, that isn't according to me. But he was closer to 3:59 than Hocker was to 3:45. Keep coping.
No. According to you, that day Bannister wasn't a 3:59 man. Jakob is not a 3:26 man.
"Keep coping" is funny coming from you.
No, that isn't according to me. That's according to how you argue. Usain Bolt is a 9.58 runner over 100m. So that means that to you he must be a 9sec man, since you think the time must always be rounded downwards.

What rubbish. 3:45.94 is almost 3:46, not 3:45. You don't realize time is still moving when it passes the second and while it is moving Hocker barely breaks 3:46. But to you Rudisha must be a "1:40 man". That'll be news to him.
