Which is fully valid video genre. But not a valid record. Spliced runs as videos show casing best what a specific scene can do is great tool to promote scene. But those should never be presented as records.

Well apart from not being completable run...

At that point, that isn't even a "run" anymore, spliced or otherwise - it's just a gameplay compilation video. Which is fine, like you said, but only as long as you don't call it something it's not.
