Yeah, but so what? There are many versions of Tetris where the speed stops increasing and you can play forever. Any expert player can reach that level. The real challenge is to see what you can do in a game that doesn't go on endlessly, like the old NES or Gameboy versions. I'm quite confident that I can beat anyone on these boards in Tetris, unless you're capable of playing at a world-class level. Some quick pictures from the Gameboy version (one of my favorites):

Best score in Type-A. Still working on maxing out that score at 999,999.

Victory screen from 19-5, the hardest possible setting in Type-B.

Maxing out the score in Type-B. This is the highest score achievable (aside from 200-300 points in Drops). I plan to go back and record a video of myself playing this at some point.
Looking forward to that WiiWare version of Tetris due out soon...
