WR or not WR?

The article currently has a table which lists the WR as 47.4, but has a disclaimer that indicates this was for 440 yards. This I understand. It goes on to say the WR was beaten by Liddell with a time of 47.6 (I guesss referring to the prior 400m record and ignoring the 440y record). This seems inconsistent to me - either:

1. The 400m WR at the time was not 47.4 (i.e. the 440 yards time in inapplicable and we should update the table to show the WR for the 400m and exclude any references to 440 yards), or 2. The 440y and 400m records are fungible and so the time of 47.6 was not a new WR

I'm not fussed which one of these options is picked, but the current article does not make sense (how can we claim the WR was 47.4 and then 2 lines later say it was beaten in a time of 47.6). Is there anyone who can give a definative answer on this? 87.114.112.26 (talk) 05:11, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
