Under "how much 'almost certainly'?" I meant not seconds, I meant that
he reserves some chance that the records were not due to the suit
technology. Thus, how much is he uncertain that the records were due
to some other factors?

Yes, polyurethane swimsuit will be banned in 2010. What should we
expect then, no new records in ages? Or some swimmers will keep on
making records? That's the question.
