A movie is not a "fake documentary" because a movie is not intended to
pass for one. It's made clear that it's fiction, and hence it's completely
genuine fiction. Nobody calls a movie "a fake documentary".
A documentary which fabricates events and claims them to have truly
happened, with the intention of fooling people, is fake.
Likewise a tool-assisted speedrun is not a "fake speedrun" because it's
not made for the purpose of fooling people into thinking that it's one.
Calling it a fake makes as much sense as calling a movie a fake documentary.
