Yeah, I get the point, and it's not any less stupid than the first time you made it.

There is a key difference between Knight breaking the coaching record and Bonds breaking (maybe) the homerun record. Bonds is credibly accused of cheating in ways that are making his run at the record possible. Bonds' defense is weak. Knight, for all his image shortcomings and for all his behavior that many people find abhorrent, has never been accused of cheating.
And what's this have to do with Knights credit score?
