This may seem like a pedant debate

I suppose if repeating arguments I've already conceded or excluded could be called pedantry. Among other things, I started by conceding that many animals could outsprint a human.

No would you like to consider the situation where the human is chasing the prey, and the prey is not a carnivore, or not chasing the human?

You need to read a little closer - I was addressing the argument you conceded.

what kind of non-carnivore are you talking about - an Impala? a Gazelle? a rat?
