Did you read TFA? These aren't Guinness World Records.

In their defense, the article says this:

> Despite these kinds of arguments, in 2020, the Guinness Book of World Records reinstated Mitchell's record scores, saying it was "defer[ing] to the original contemporaneous adjudication" rather than relying on Twin Galaxies' updated findings

That's what I was referring to, yes. I could see how it could be taken to be mistaken about the main records being talked about.

My mistake, and my apology then.. I shouldn't have assumed.
