I definitely feel like it's interesting. But it kind of ignores much of the point of speed running if it requires either a mod or the results of previous runs to accomplish without accounting for that.
It would be like calling a video of the last few frames before hitting the final axe of Super Mario Bros representative of an entire run.
The 2 seconds is a valid part of a complete run.
I actually think that items carrying over from one run to another makes it much more interesting in this case.
For me, speedrunning means completing the game as fast as possible, no matter what (within the means of the game). I don't care about glitches, exploits or bugs, that are abused. How the community ultimately decides to count these things, doesn't matter to me, since I'm just a casual observer.
