Bench Press?

Why do muscle-heads spend so much time and effort on the bench press? Why is that the main indicator of strength for some people? Personally, I do about 40 different strength training exercises for my entire body. I do dumbell press for my chest among many other chest exercises - I don't even do bench press. I also run 10km, swim, cycle, play basketball and golf regularily. I guarantee I am in better shape and am a better athlete than 90% of these gym dudes.

But if you ask some of these fat guys with big arms (hardly physically fit athletes) how their training is going they will give you bench press numbers. Why? Is the strength of you upper and mid-chest the number one goal in your physical fitness and athletic career?
