You don't think Wolverine is 10 times faster than I am?
I could throw two punches in one second as well. Your liberal use of the phrase "ten times faster" is shallow though. And I know why you keep turning to this over and over again.
To illustrate: I could run the 100 meter dash in close to 11 seconds back in high school. Usain Bolt can run it in just under 10 seconds. Do I consider Usain Bolt to be "only .1 times faster" than me? Of course not. When I think Usain Bolt, I think the guy is "twice as fast" as I am or "three/ten times as fast" as me. Just because I think Usain Bolt is "twice as fast" as I am though, doesn't mean he's running the 100 meter dash in 5.5 seconds.
You're attempting to conflate the colloquial sense of the term, "faster," with the mathematically accurate sense of the term. And it's transparent. Your question is a red herring.
