analog: he is using a device in conjunction with his body. His muscles still do all the work, the 'device' is useless without him.
That being said, I still don't disagree that this grants him an advantage. I just don't care that much. Superior genetics already granted him an advantage over, say, me. I could never beat him even if I trained as hard as he did for as long as he did and he had his legs. To my mind this is like putting a star next to Wilt Chamberlain's records because he was so much taller than everyone else who played the game at the time. That his advantage was 'natural' doesn't strike me as important (or even true, nothing natural about a person being 7' 1").
