I think your gripe is the 'only' part. What they leave out is the 'on average' part.

Looking forward to your next project.

Leaving out "on average" is a big deal. This number gets used everywhere as a max, not an average. Even papers written by Bitcoiners talking about L2 proposals will reference 7 TPS as a max, not an average.

The difference is what it can do vs what people are actually paying for in a given time frame.

I wonder how many dev hours went into this project proving a point to noone and if they could have been better spent.

I can understand some of the criticism you're getting on this "project", but I for one wouldn't want you to stop doing these.

For those that haven't seen Super in action, go watch a video of him doing his thing and you'll probably realize this was 45 min well spent.

I never said anyone should stop doing these kind of projects. I'm sure it was a good exercise, and now everyone has another resource that keeps track of tps. (like x)

Super is a talented badass, just like MJ.

FUD (Swackhammer in Space Jam) is the enemy, and you gotta pick your battles. Here, Super actually proves the 'myth'.

Beyond that, there's a lot of nuance. Bitcoin throughput doesn't have a limit. How many tps did ASICs mine before difficulty caught up? (because there's a limit to how much the difficulty changes)
