Depends on if he ran at the old RCA Dome or at Lucas Oil Field as Lucas Oil Field yields times ~.04 slower than the old RCA Dome. For example, if Jacoby Ford's 4.28 in 2010 had been run at the RCA Dome...he likely would have run 4.24.
I'd say Bolt is comparable to Jacoby Ford and Trindon Holliday at 40 yards. See the link of 2008 Olympic Finals where former LSU track star Richard Thompson actually leads Bolt at about the 40 yard mark. Go to the 27-28 second mark of the video to see their position at about 40 yards.

Richard Thompson was teammates with Holliday at LSU and they were comparable over the 1st 40 yards.
Bolt is LEAVING everybody after 40 yards though.
It doesn't appear that we actually disagree. Based on what you wrote above, you pretty clearly don't think Jackson would have run a sub 4.2 40, (even at the RCA dome) under electronic timing. Is that correct?
