Lets regroup this discussion a little, the tangents are becoming outlandish.
Ion core belief:
Lefty, you are reading a different Ion than I am. This is my take on Ion's core belief:
Being a fast late-bloomer (no age group, started in 28) makes you right. If you are slower than Ion for whatever reason then your arguments with Ion are pointless. If you are faster than Ion, then the fact that you are not a late bloomer means that the comparison is null and void.
This is not a comparison between someone who has been swimming since age 5, and someone who started later. (That is what you are doing, and bless you for trying to steer the discussion towards an interesting topic.)
If you swam 1 year during the ages 13-17, and only started up recently, then Ion (who has been swimming for the last 16 years) says that person has an advantage that makes comparisons unreasonable. (Unless Ion is faster, of course.)
