Maybe you are just intellectually inadequate.

I'm inadequate to run the 100m in less than 15s or even to finish a marathon in less than 2h.

Doesn't mean these things are generally inaccessible.

Well, the entire human race is inadequate to run a marathon in less than 2h so far...

You're absolutely right, that was a typo.

I meant 3 hours.

I don't think I could finish in less than a day at all...
