I don't think that the faster you run the 400 the faster you run the 800.
And 45.xx is not a fast 400. It's a fast 400 for an 800 meter runner.
Supposedly he said the faster you run the 400 the faster you can run the 800. Technically true. In theory the quicker you can go for 400 the faster you could go for 800.
Taken this way though...well thats pretty obvious.
