CTC,
I've understood your argument about the Wood figure since the beginning. I think it's pretty pointless to debate that aspect of it because we'll never know. The very fact that those that gave him a super fast number are still confident says as much.
The part that I think is worthy of debate is whether a -5 (or a -3, or a -1..) earned with a loose lead on a track that was kind to speed against Grade 3 animals is equal to wire to wire win with pressure from another Grade 1 animal on an honest track.
