That pretty much sums it up for me. Don't care if he could score 100 points in a game today or average 50 points a game for a season today. I do believe with a strong conviction because of his achievements that he was the best ever by a significant margin. No no who has ever played the game, including Jordan, comes close and Wilt has the NBA record book, which his name dominates, to document those unmatched accomplishments.
You can adjust his numbers for era, higher scoring, more rebounds, and his still are the best by a large margin.
