That's probably going to lead to an appeal to authority fallacy.
At low winrates, the error in a winrate is massive compared to the absolute winrate. For a 0.5 BB/hr winner, n0 is like 1000 hours, so discriminating between 0.5 BB/hr and 0.6 BB/hr will take roughly 25,000 hours.
At high winrates, the error is smaller (discriminating between a 1.0 and 1.2 BB/hr winner would only take about 6,000 hours) but at that high of a win rate it's hard to imagine someone winning 6,000 BB and not moving up.
As a result, the best 4/8 players are likely hypothetical (they play higher but could play 4/8 at a very high level) or running above EV.
On occasion there are people like gobbledygeek who play 2/4 at a high level because of unusual reasons, but even GG moved on. He still says hi to me every time I post in LLSNL though.
