Maybe you can't start running a meaningful amount in 100ms but you can definitely click a button.
If you think 101 is the highest ever measured then maybe check the website in OP where the fastest is faster than that...
People pick mid doors every game, and that's less than 100ms... 40ms in ideal circumstances is good enough to pick mid doors ingame (which is something like 80ms iirc). If you play cs you should at least know that much.
Firstly, the mid door in dust is like 250ms, not 40 or 80ms. I'm Global elite at cs so in that regard I know what I'm talking about. Now if you want to argue that people can (the worlds fastest reactor in this case) do lets say 24ms (which is only 16ms higher than what you say you can do) then lets put that to perspective. You know those subliminal 1frame messages in a video? In a 24fps video youd be able to stop the clip at the same frame as the subliminal message came, just as the frame was about to change. Now does that sound like any human could do that?
And sure, I've gotten 15ms in reaction time test, but that was just guessing, not reacting.
Just in case you are wondering, here is what that would look like in real life. Someone able to stop the video in the same frame as that image flashes. And not by guessing it, but the first time and consistently afterwards.

Also here is the calculation for the dust doors

Pretty easy and fun read made simple.
But as you can see here, audio stimuli (170ms average) is actually faster than visual stimuli (250ms average). The average human touch reaction time is 150ms, and you can say you can do 40ms visually (average being 250ms).
You are plain wrong, nothing more.
