Have you ever ridden a horse at all, let alone such precision riding? Yes. It's physically and mentally demanding.

And we've had this discussion before, iSm. The vast majority of races are NOT decided by inhumanly small margins. You may not be able to count to 5ms, but you can see who crosses the finishline first. Photo finishes are rare exceptions, not the rule. And even when they do happen, the photo clears it up. A winner is declared based on perfectly perceptable, clear cut criteria. Just because we can't count to 1/27 mississippi doesn't mean it's not human scale.
