It’s either scientific or it’s not.

Don’t forget that two people actually ran under the two hour mark.

Not sure I understand what you mean by "scientific." If you mean exactly reproducible, then almost nothing in athletics fits that definition. Every record in baseball, football, etc. would fail that definition.

Yes. That is what I meant. Sports records are nonsensical.
