Ehh, you are not very well versed in statistic are you now.
I only said that the results as presented are more supportive of equality on elasped time IN AN EVENT LIKE THIS then supportive of equality using handicap ratings.
Compare it to this example; Each time you throw a coin in the air you a reasonable change of getting tales.
-a- It doesn't mean you WILL get a tale
-b- It doesn't cover the case we you knowingly FAVOR a different outcome, as in use a crooked coin or have trained to throw the coin such that it always lands on one particular side.
Your next comment is of the -b- type.
If it had beena dead run all the way, the results mwould have been different I feel; however, without any FACTS I cannot "prove" this........
And what if it had been an upwind beat all the way ? Or are we simply yet intentionally ignoring that possibilty ?
The facts are as they are. For this event, the F18 guys were not held back much at all by their decision to use the F18 boat or the N20's.
Trying to ignore that is just silly.
