Yep, he's apparently even faster than 20ms after MJOLNIR.
But - since you insist on pressing the point, why not elaborate? And hey, why not mathematically?

A bullet travels from a large gun, a sniper rifle specifically, at about 1000 m/s (Physics 2nd Ed, John Cutnell). At a range of 15m ('point-blank' range for any half-accomplished marksman) that would give Chief a requirement of approx 15 ms reaction time in order to actually see it coming and get out of the way.
With that, note that CPO Mendez attested to the Spartan's reaction as significantly faster in combat situations. Note that this was again before the initiation of Project MJOLNIR, which would, as I said, multiply his reaction times.
But how does he legitimately 'gain' that reaction time, you ask?
Considering that he has a base 20ms reaction reaction time - which would be 'significantly faster in combat situations', as CPO Mendez attested to and would 'only improve as the Spartans get used to their augmentations' (Both pg 73-74, FoR)...and factoring in how MJOLNIR V 'greatly increased subject reflexes' (Pg 114-117, FoR), he can easily hit that speed.

Yeah...not much has changed, at all.
All you have really proved here is that:
1.) 20ms is not fast enough to dodge bullets Neo style.
Therefore:
2.) Before Project MJOLNIR, the Spartans were not fast enough to dodge bullets Neo style.

so now youve got.....nothing in your argument other than the [b]assumption that "dodge" means percieving bullets.....[/b]
The very idea of you making this erroneous claim about how I'm making assumption....and just assumption, nothing else in my posts despite the fact that I have literally beat you down with facts and info...that furthermore kind of messes up your claim on this whole 'I was arguing about the evidence' nonsense.
According to your testimony, you were supposed to be focusing on the logic and factual backup behind this assumption, which for some reason you ignored.

Alright, enough of this skullduggery. Considering that you've well overused this downtrodden excuse by now, I think it's time to beat this claim of yours down for good.
So essentially by what you have openly stated, your alleged core argument this entire time was to prove that an "assumption" is not "fact", either pertaining to mine specifically, or in a general sense. Correct?
Now, if this was directed at me specifically:
I have repeated to you no less than a dozen times by now that yes, I know it's an assumption - yes, I know it's not confirmed fact - yes, I know it's a theory being processed. And that still doesn't matter to you apparently, who insists on continuing to throw that single accusation at me: It doesn't change my argument at all, hence why I'm totally fine with saying that it's an assumption - albeit the most likely one, judging from background info/evidence, etc. I have by now proved that he can do it.
Because it's an assumption in no way actually rules it out as a valid point - not when it's been backed up to the extent that I have given it.
Despite how I've said that the very idea of the words being used as connotations in the same sentence is stupid - you continue to soldier on with it.
"It's assumption, it's not fact."
Yeah, we know already, Burning.
And if you meant it as a general statement:
That notion is erroneous on multiple levels. You're trying to establish something that was already proven and fact.
If you were really - really - trying to prove such an ridiculously obscene point, you simply would have done this: instead of jumping all over the place and attempting to pass off debating as something else each time.
assume
as-sume [uh-soom]
1. to take for granted or without proof; suppose; postulate; posit:
fact
-fækt [fah-kt]
1.) something that actually exists; reality; confirmed truth
The simple solution that you have required all along, had you been actually attempting to 'prove' your so-called core point.
Considering that right off the bat you toss a dictionary definition of the word 'dodge' at me, it would be expected that you would use the same, simple source to prove such an exasperatingly obvious point. But no, you drag this on mysteriously, refusing to resort to the solution that was quite literally staring you in the face - and instead either diverting somewhere else or continuing to say it.
Where does that leave us?
You were either lying outright, or making some premeditated attempt to pointlessly prove something that's already established truth. Either way, you don't look good.
Now that you have no more reason to keep saying your "it's an assumption" motto, any further attempt to even remotely say those words is just you replying without anything logical or constructive to reply with.
