    How much assistance did she get then? When you say "albeit not with
    complete certainty," and you are talking about a very small effect in
    this case, then David's comment "It's probably not well understood how
    much assistance Lenton.....," is correct. But since you disagree, how
    much assistance did she get?

    The “assistance” was due to drafting effects which are well “understood” (i.e. known) qualitatively by just about anyone involved with competitive swimming.

    The “assistance” was due to drafting effects which are well “understood” (i.e. known) qualitatively by just about anyone involved with competitive swimming. In this case, “understood” means having knowledge about drafting effects, which
    coaches, and competitive swimmers are quite aware of.
