Guy at a game store told me my speedrun route was 12 seconds slower and he was right

I was at a local shop in Austin last month talking about my Super Mario Odyssey run and some random guy just leans over and says 'you're wasting time on that jump in the desert level, try the wall kick instead.' I got defensive at first cause I thought I had it figured out. But I tried his way at home and shaved off 12 seconds easy. Now I actually ask other players for tips instead of just assuming my way is best. Has anyone else had a stranger notice something you missed in a game?

Read something about how pros constantly tweak minor stuff like that.

Used to think it was all hype, but @mason.paige that actually makes a ton of sense.
