Other commentors are already pointing out how we went from kilometers of precision to a target of under 100m for this mission. But in practice, the team is confident it landed within 10m, which is pretty darn good.
On the context of the "perfect score", they initially gave themselves a 60 out of 100 score during their first press conference after the landing, and today a member of the audience explicitely asked them to revise that score knowing what we know now.
The speaker made the point that achieving that much of precision is just ground breaking and will completely change how we frame the "where do we land" question from now on,so giving it a perfect score is I think legit.
