I guess only in the hard core running world are Michael Phelps and Alan Webb considered to be equals.
Of course they're not equals!
Now, if Webb competed against a much smaller world population, and could run more events, such as,
the 1500m side stride
the 1500m backwards stride
the 1500m forward stride
the mile backwards stride,
the mile side stride,
the mile forward stride,
the 4x1500m relay
the 1200m side stride,
the 1200m backwards stride,
and
the 1200m forward stride
and all on the Olympic stage. Then yes, Phelps might be considered to Webb's equal.
