It's extremely misleading at best. It might even be fiction if you're strict enough about the facts.

Which is explicitly mentioned in the article, as inspiring a "New Wave" of players.

I still prefer Chasing Ghosts, which features Billy Mitchell and his other friends from the 80's.

It's amazing but also mentioned several times throughout the article.

It's a very good documentary, but I've heard that it's edited in such a way to make the original highscore holder look like more of a villain. Not to mention that the highscore changed hands several times over the years, but it was presented as though it had been held by one guy for the last 20-30 years.

A moderately inquisitive person would think from the title of the article that this would be related in some way to the movie.

One could then ctrl-F just in case, to see if it's referenced, and still get away with pretending to be interested in this stuff without spending your time actually reading.

I can only assume you've also not watched the "amazing" documentary you've cited.
