I think the argument would have been strong enough without using the numbers as some sort of basis of factual support when there's not enough evidence in as yet to say whether or not the number is indeed fact.
Are you suggesting the figure makers are being disingenuous? Interesting argument, if a player uses a beyer speed figure and the original figure is inaccurate when adjusted at a later date, it can be considered no different than receiving wrong information when buying a stock. Who's liable then?
