The comparison isn’t to “education” or “study” in general, it’s to IQ tests. SM64 speedruns might not have that much intellectual merit, but they’re not really any worse than, say, studying Raven’s Progressive Matrices problems until every basic type is memorized. And you can do better than SM64 challenges; that’s not something I suggested here.
