- the World Cubing Association speed cubing rules are designed to make competitions more interesting and fair for speedcubers and NOT for general public.

- the 3x3x3 without inspection used to be an official WCA event but was removed as it was considered a worse way to fairly judge competitor's skill.

- it isn't the fault of speedcubers that people interpret WCA records as something they aren't and then claim it's lying when they find out what they actually are

And the whole analysis of who is fastest with inspection by looking at the data from solves with inspection is kind of meaningless.

Max park has solved 434 cubes in one hour solving cubes with an average 8.2s per cube inspection included. I guess you'll find a 5 seconds solve somewhere in the video.
