And also since when human performance are all the same level
in a general sense we are.
Absolutely not. Especially when it comes to speed and endurance.
I mean like we don't pull carriages with even our top athletes but we will with a runt of the litter horse.
No you absolutely do not! You never put more than half the weight of the horse on it's back. I just recently went riding and since I'm not a fucking lardass I got to ride a good horse.
Movies and TV are not real life.
carriages can be of all types of sizes you know but if a humans pulling it we call it a rickshaw and we would never attach a horse to it because it could not handle its power.
When I was taking classes on similar things, 'human performance' was generally defined as how well an expert in a given task performed.
