Sorry, but machines cannot operate at more than 100%, either. They can run at more than 100% of their rated operating capacity, but that is something different.

And if a player is able to “dig down and find a little more to give and put for[th] effort beyond what others do” well, then, they weren’t really giving 100% prior to that.

But, I do appreciate the point you’re trying to make.

Lacking a background in advanced semantics and no desire to delve into a deep, and likely very boring, philosophic debate on the subject I will simply say; I am glad you appreciate the point.

Hyperbole: –noun, rhetorical device.
1. obvious and intentional exaggeration.
2. an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally but intended for effect, as “to wait an eternity.”

Just as, if someone said, "She cranked a 200 mph shot into the upper 90," most folks wouldn't stop and figure the average weight/strength ration of the female soccer player vs. the mass/size/drag coefficient of standard soccer ball to determine the impossibility of an actual 200 mph shot; we'd just figure she knocked the #@$% out of it and move on.

Unless, of course, you're an engineer, in which case you're probably already reaching for your calculator.

Lends new meaning to "Drag Coefficient".

If you go to Velocity Sports, can you reduce your drag coefficient?

But wait a minute, how can this be? Arsenal players are 200% behind Arsen Wenger! We need an engineer!

LONDON (AFP) - Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna insisted manager Arsene Wenger enjoyed the full support of the club's players on Wednesday after the Gunners season took another disappointing turn.

Arsenal's dismal year continued on Tuesday when Manchester City leapfrogged them into third place, meaning the Gunners may well miss out on automatic qualification to next season's Champions League.

It came after Arsenal's players were booed from the pitch at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday after crashing to defeat against Aston Villa in their final home match of the season.

Sagna has ruled out any suggestion that Arsenal's players had lost confidence in Wenger however.

"Everyone is 200 percent behind him. I think he is the right guy," Sagna told Sky Sports News.

"He made a lot for the team, for the players and for the club as well. So we just want to keep working hard and give the maximum."

Sagna also believes midfielder Cesc Fabregas, repeatedly linked with a move to Barcelona, will remain an Arsenal player next season.

"Of course. He is under contract with the team. He is still our captain," Sagna said. "We need him badly because he is a good player, he is very talented and everyone knows what he can bring to the team.

"So I am looking forward to playing with him next year."
