I am surprised at the push back on this. It is just science and it mentioned it in the article.

I just said it needs an asterisk, not withholding anything. What if someone runs one second slower in higher humidity and temperature. Now that I would applaud.
Why do you think the existing records weren't also set under good conditions?
What was the temperature and humidity for the previous record? Or the rest of the top 10?

It’s essentially the same as not setting the record. It would be qualified every single time it’s mentioned and be functionally saying “…so it doesn’t count.”
