From which we can conclude there is quantity, but not quality.

Please define quality. They both have more wins than losses.

Please define quality.

I think the poster was referring to the ratings achieved assuming the values quoted are on the same scale as International Elo. You would think lots of practice would result in becoming a better player, but it's not always the case. There again, we don't know what their ratings or strength was when the marathons started.
