Every benchmark can be set up in a way that will give edge to one part or another. Especially if there is a vested interest.

Meanwhile Pronghorns, Impala and Antelope can reach 55mph-60mph and maintain it for about half a mile, and vary their speed to increase distance. So which would you consider faster? The one that can give you a few seconds of effort really quickly; or the one that gives you 90% of that effort but for hours?
