Absolute fast times, not top 10 in a niche group.
So in other words, your definition should have more universality than just the ages 40-44 ("niche group").
Lefty, those of us arguing with Ion are not arguing about your point (1). Maybe kaelonj, AquaGeek, or someone else will correct me, but this is what we are discussing:
1) Ion claims that VO2Max is the key to swimming, whether it is sprint or endurance.
2) When discussing the merits of an issue, Ion will say you are wrong if your times are slower than his. (The most glaring example is when Ion did this to a woman more than 10 years older.) If you apply this tactic to Ion himself, he says that is not a fair comparison, because he did not swim in his teenage years.
We are debating (1). Point (2) is a blatant double standard, but Ion uses point (1) as a justification.
