Oh, now they're lying? Care to back that one up? That's a steep accusation that you should probably reconsider attaching to your name.

They wrote a tool to find things to parallelize. They parallelize them, the code gets faster. I realize that it isn't the faster you would prefer, but they picked an accessible target that everybody could understand. It isn't as cool if they say "we made Excel render graphs 15% faster" or "we made MP3 transcoding 15% faster". They just made a code base faster using their tool, that's all.

If they had made a video editor faster and you'd worked on video editors all your life, I'm sure you'd be here shitting on the achievement as well. They're not a game development shop. They picked a game to screw around with. They made it quicker. It just happens to be your pet area, so you absolutely cannot stand that someone figured out how to do something in your little world that you wouldn't think of.

I'm impressed you've upgraded to outright calling them liars now rather than just admit, maybe, you might be wrong.
