If I understand you correctly. Nobody had run a 4 minute mile before Roger Bannister. Now lots of people have so standards must have dropped.

- candiodari 8y agoHow is that in any way equivalent to your claim, which just so we're clear, is that now 50% of the population (and implied even near 100%) now has the intellectual standards that only 3% of the population had a mere 20 years ago ? One reason for ever improving records is that we just further explore the long tail of human performance. A decent number of factors that get this one event going would be coincidences, and because we keep and keep and keep trying people get ever closer to perfect.
