That's not what the corrections are for. Times are times. But if you want to compare to someone elses times, or compare to the times you read in magazines, you need to realize you are often comparing to a corrected time.

Nobody is going to take away from Shahid's 12 second run. It's a fast time and very impressive. With corrections, it is a lot more in line with the times that the mags are putting down though.
