The claim is for short-duration -- i.e. not counting anything that happens after we reach my top speed. (Therefore under a second.) But the point of the question was what assumptions others would make or not make about the context of the claim. :-)
It sounds as though you figured out a context in which the claim could be accurate and then phrased your reply to probe whether the context you came up with is correct. Am I correct?
Am not sure about the human locomotion, but I would guess that even there the top acceleration has taken place long before top speed has been reached. But looking at the sprint racers it might be a good enough approximation for government work.
Yes, I figured it out. But you must admit that your framing of the question was rather obviousiating.
