To me, it just seems like that would be the case.

If it were the case, then more than one person in history would've accomplished it.
Part of what you are missing is that the first 100m of the 200m occur on a turn, not a straightaway. Also, the pacing is different. A 100m sprinter simply cannot maintain his 100m speed for another 100m. If they could, they'd simply all just win the 200m also, right?
The incredible thing is that in a sport where records are set and broken in .01 increments, he set a record that no one has come withing .36 of! It may well be the most dominant/amazing/incredible feat in the history of sports.

As I said in my first post, I was never doubting its greatness and I admitted I was wrong. Just explaining my rationale.
