It isn't a perfect run. Someone could do better, as in they do the same tricks but their hand doesn't hit the wall. Or they land without spraying snow in the air. If someone could do his exact same run, but with those two things they should win. But, with a perfect score the best you could do by a better run is a tie. Boo.

That's what you are missing though. No one, and I mean absolutely no one, in the entire world is capable of pulling those two tricks off in competition. No one could do better. There was absolutely zero chance that anyone could compete with that score and he had already won the entire competition PRIOR to this run.
Edit: Next year that run would probably qualify much much lower. That is why Shaun White is progressing the sport so rapidly. He set the bar with this run, now people have to catch up.
