Since we'd need to know every time to an accuracy of about 0.01 or less to tell which of various fast people is the fastest, the only way to actually find the UWR would be to have every fast person submit a high-fps recording of a PLL, and then to have someone count the frames of each one.

I DO understand you. Timing algs will never be exact. How about just filming a fast T-Perm with a high-fps camera and if I start or stop too early I wont upload it? (Maybe just as a failed T-Perm PB

) I think thats as good as it gets...
