Quick question: was the „perfect“ gameplay always known at the dotted line? So 2004 perfect TAS is the same as 2025?

To give an idea to people that dont know:
The dotted line is what we call a TAS: Tool Assissted Speedrun. Basically putting the perfect inputs into a machine to play the game and thats the quickest people could get the game to be finished, with every input being perfectly on time for the best result.
The new WR is 4 frames away from that ‘theorical perfect run’

I wish I could focus on anything in life as much as speedrunners can focus on a single game from 40 years ago.
