If you don't like the rules of the sport, don't follow it. But don't insult people for following the rules. If you don't like 3 pointers in basketball, don't complain that they should score them as 2.

I don't really understand your point. The difference between a "time trial" and "race" is really only in the presence of official timekeepers and official course certifications. There's no law stating that a time trial effort is inherently worse than a race effort.
However, there is no reason that a time trial effort should be inherently worse than a race, particularly if the time trial is set up to be quite similar to a race. This is especially true in the time of COVID, where there are very few "real races", so instead we have high quality time trials.

This has to be the worst analogy I have ever seen. Wtf are you talking about!

Now Hutchins runs 15:34 after I predicted 15:32. Pity she didn't have more competition.
3/3 this week.

Anyone else starting to think Hunter & his fanboys’ obsession with Fisher has become a massive detriment at this point?
I mean, let’s look where we are:
Hunter skipped the NCAA experience to train like a pro and become world class. Clearly a huge advantage for your individual long term development if you have the HS credentials to do it.
Fisher went to Stanford and earned an engineering degree, while adhering to the NCAA three season framework.
PRs...
Hunter - Fisher
3:35.9 - 3:36.2
7:39.9 - 7:42 (indoors two years ago)
13:21 - 13:11
Who would you rather be right now? (Especially considering they’re actually basically the same age.)
Can I see their bank accounts? And current endorsement contracts?
Was a Stanford degree even a possibility for Grant?
Personally, I think both are probably having the times of their lives. As Chrisl Lear said to me recently, "Do you remember when we were young and our only care in the world was having rent paid and trying to run fast?"
Fisher just finished his 26:33 faster than Hunter’s best 5000m.
He also finished his 12:53 faster than Hunter’s best 3000m.
