I'm pretty sure that the way speedrunners get their fast times are by either anticipating, or more likely, by finding an earlier trigger event that correlates, and allows them to hit the frame perfect timing.

Yes, that was my point: just because people can’t react to unexpected events faster than ~100ms does not mean that shorter time periods can somehow be disregarded as imperceptible to the conscious mind or beyond human capability. The perception or reaction jitter is easily an order of magnitude lower than the reaction latency.
