Good discussion and silly at the same time. The man has artificial legs. He is a construct of technology. While he may have the will and the determination, he is no faster than the technology he uses. He may be able to push more out of his technology, but the minute the technology is improved, he will be that much faster. By that means, his efforts may be honorable, but his eligibility to be judged against naturally-abled men is invalid.
This has nothing to do with some homage to the perfection of the human body. That argument is pompous.
