So, for example, let's take Garner's Ch. Chinaman. They said he "had the mouth of an alligator. He was very clever. He would outsmart slick ear and nose dogs and cur them out. He would finish straight-ahead dogs even faster. Swapping-out was his game." Would it be fair to say he just never met the right "slick ear or nose dog" that was able to take his measure? That there may have been such a dog out there but they just never matched into each other? To read the accounts, you'd think Chinaman was an unstoppable juggernaut.
