there’s no contradiction: speedrunning works, but requires a competent team that acts as one unit. like everyone can learn some circus trick, but when a pro does it you don’t even get to see what they did. so one can try and use meds and pick up stuff while running and fighting, even simple materials, but not everyone does it.
