I don't think that's a given.
In the study, both the person with the gun and the "knife guy" knew the controls of the experiment.
On the street, though, nobody can be absolutely certain how someone else will react, and I think that changes the probable outcome greatly. In theory, yes, someone can cover that distance in a very short amount of time. But that's all it seems to measure.
What it doesn't measure, and which is what would greatly affect the accuracy of a knife attack, is the reaction of the "knife guy" when he sees, unexpectedly, a gun being drawn after he's covered only ten feet...
