Bad analogy, apples to oranges. Ive read on how fast humans can run and
experts are doubtful we will ever see a 3 minute mile(20mph sustained)
and from what I read, the fastest humans can do short bursts of speed
of about 24mph. As for that 20/7 guy who knows a friend who is 20/5,
neither of them are interested in world records and they say its not
really a record as there is more 20/5 guys in the world. He isnt sure
where the limits is, but he said somewhere between 20/3 and 20/4! He
isnt talking lasik either, but natrually gifted super vision. I read in
my Dr. Bates book of a young girl who used to be a little myopic then
with vision improvement all her myopia was gone and she eventrually
became 40/10 and 20/5! There is even a word for vision this good
"telescopic" vision, but they dont see like looking thru a telescope,
they just see super, super sharp like a hawk. "telescopic" vision
ranges from 20/8 to 20/3 is what the website said! Its extremely rare,
like less than 1 in a million. (20/10 is estimated to be about 1 in 70)
