Congratulations to the team and the community as a whole for this pretty amazing achievement.

Turns out the one level that the group was having trouble with was originally uploaded using something called a TAS, which renders it null and void, so they didn't actually have to beat that one to finish them all.

**Edited title. Making sure that the word 'level' doesn't fit. Have a good day. *

"The author came out and said Team 0% should be declared victorious"

I really hate that his opinion on it matters to anyone

His opinion here is him admitting that the level he is responsible for was illigetimate. The legitimacy of that level is something he actually has first hand knowledge over so why shouldn't is opinion hold weight?

He has acknowledged (finally) that he cheated and lied, so yeah he needed to say something, since he was responsible. And I guess he kinda half assed apologized (or made excuses or whatever he did).

But his opinion on whether they should be declared victorious or not shouldn't hold any weight.

Not only do they get to determine whether they have succeeded or not, but his blessing is more of an insult than anything since they would have declared themselves successful over a week ago and not had to waste hours of their lives trying to beat it and hunting for evidence that it was faked.

Okay I see your point that you are frustrated for the sake of the completionists because of what is ultimately this guys dishonesty, and you wish his opinion could be dismissed because you don't want the dishonest guys opinion to matter. That makes sense to me.
