The "Luckiest" Speedrun in Perfect Dark History: Real or Fake? [Complete Analysis]

On May 31, 2011; a man whom not much is known about, posted an incredible World Record speedrun on Perfect Dark's Attack Ship level... 4 seconds untied ahead of 2nd place. The run immediately became one of the most contentious in the game's history, with the runner getting luck even he himself believed to be in "one in a million" territory.

After years of periodic study, and now months of close examination, I've analyzed this legendary run and leave the question up to you... do you think Chuya actually got this World Record? Or are the combination of questionable factors surrounding the run too much to overlook?
