Lol are you serious? Rupp at 100% is nowhere near those other guys at 100%. There's not even anything to support your idea. Those guys are all almost 12:40 guys. Rupp hasn't even broken 12:58 in perfectly rabbited races.
And what was the overall time when Rupp finished with a 52? Anyone can run a 52 off of a slow enough pace.
Okay, but, he is as good as those guys in a time trial in the 10K. In fact he's faster than Gebremeskel at 10K (Gehbriwet hasn't ran one).
