I don't think that's really negative what Ace said, I think all of the Top 5 agree to some extent.
The WR count and Time Ranks say a lot more now days about overall skill than the Point Ranks.
The Point Ranks would be a lot more telling if all of the Top 5 improved their crap times. Daniel has basically achieved this now, which is in itself a pretty remarkable thing to do on 60 different levels.
I think it's healthy to see changes at the Top of the Point Ranks. Clemens has gone through with a scalpel and cut off a lot of fat from his times page. So have I, but I am still very weak on Frigate A / 00A, Runway 00A, and Aztec A / 00A.
I have so much other stuff to focus my time and energy on, so all i can dedicate to Goldeneye is roughly an hour a night (or every couple of nights). This is enough to clean up my worst times, given enough time, and some luck. As for really great times like Silo 1:00, I can't see happening unless I somehow have more time to commit to playing it, which does seem unlikely.
However you order the Top 5 comes down to what you look at being most important, but the Top 5 itself is extremely clear in this era.
