but it still illustrates a guy's athleticism or lack there of if their number is significantly better or worse than the field.

Membou's was significantly better than the field's thus it shows he has elite athleticism for his size. It'd be equally important if he ran a 5.5.

If you're within the bell curve it doesn't really matter.
