AL,(posted 8776 days ago)When I re-read my own post it does sound like I take myself a bit too seriously, sorry it wasn’t meant that way.
On the other hand you do not seem to have understood my point. Actually it is quite the opposite of what you say. My frustration surfaces because the fact that certain scores are impossible including the ones I mentioned)is absolutely provable.
There are many world record scores that I could not break even after years of practice, but that does not make doing so impossible. As for achieving the scores I mentioned, the best video game player who ever lived practicing for 50 years or 50 million years, it makes no difference. They are not possible.
There is enough uncertainty regarding video game records for which we don’t have the benefit of the certainty some Roms provide as to whether they are possible or not, to waste time debating those that we can prove are bogus.
