Do you have scientific evidence to back up that claim?
Zero percent of world championships or olympic qualifying times in the past year, and zero percent of NCAA indoor championships times this year have come with 4% or next % shoes. There is no rule saying they can't be worn on the track. So there's some pretty big evidence. If it was legal and they were faster than spikes, then people would be wearing them everywhere. But they're not. I know people who have run in them on the track and they didn't run very well.
3 out of the top 4 in the mens NCAA 10K wore the shoe last year. The vast majority of runners on the track are not wearing them at the pro level and I have yet to see any top level people at the world level race in them on the track so your statistics are meaningless.
