this whole thread is pure gold, thanks for linking it. for me the comment [0] confirmed that it was bokeh.

Not mentioned in that video is that the triangles all have the same orientation, which would also be the case if bokeh was the cause.
it was mentioned around ~3:30
The exact quote is “The two shapes are basically the same”, and to me “shape” is isomorphism, not orientation. But I guess it could simply be a matter of interpretation.
You can see that the orientation also appears the same.

And the images double up after the camera is zoomed in, which one would expect from bokeh.

I think you misunderstand me. I agree with this. I just said that the video did not explicitly mention orientation, which would have, I thought, strengthened its point even more.

Ok, fair enough.
