bravecanadian basically said it for me. but just so we don't have this infuriating conversation yet again, the difference between 1 and 2 is enormous. the difference between 2 and 5 is significant, but smaller. so the difference between 35 and 55 isn't all that big at all. the difference between 250 and 350 is probably almost nothing.
So if I said that Zubov is right there with Niedermayer and Murphy, maybe rank them 32, 33, and 34 in any order - is there much of an argument against? Or would that be easily possible since there isn't much of a difference between say 35 and 55 or so? Can you basically pick the next 30 names out of a hat once you get to about 30? The problem is though Zubov wasn't ranked 55, he wasn't even in the top 60. So does that mean that yes there's a larger gap between him and those ranked in the early-mid 30s? Or is it still splitting hairs? And if it is splitting hairs, then yes I should be able to place him up there with those guys and there shouldn't be much on argument. The answer should be "yes its very possible". Not a definitive "no way".
