Video isn't truly irrefutable. Two people can look at the same video and draw different conclusions. You can see this anywhere from instant replay review in sports to some people's reactions to the Chauvin verdict.

I agree that video isn't de facto irrefutable, but there are several irrefutable cases involving video.
