Will,

How much do you think that this is just bad reviewing/misunderstanding about
magnitude based inferences, and how much comes down to not knowing what is
clinically meaningful about all types of data. I find it easy to apply the
inferential model to performance where you and others can provide us with
measures of CV of the outcomes. However, i am not sure where to "draw the line"
on blood glucose or pulmonary oxygen

Standardization provides the default value for the smallest important difference
or change in the mean of a mechanism or other variable that does not have a
known relationship with competitive performance.
