Same here. However I think that the way he is communicating information in this video is meant to capture your attention not just now, but when this video is visited months or years from now.

It will be very cool for viewers to stumble across this video when it doesn't work, effectively proving his point.

My guess is it's more likely some YouTube employees hacked around this as a show of "support" for YouTubers?
More likely they have a cache for the views with a longer expiration time set than the update interval of Scott's script.
That's unnecessary. The slower the view count updates (and it's very slow), then the more likely the title is to be correct.
That's what I thought too. He probably got a rate limit lifted.
