Verus vel interdum mendacium.

Poor Veritasium. Makes a wild claim that everyone else is wrong but doesn't back it up with experimental evidence.

It reminds me of how cocky people, like doctors or conspiracy theorists, are able to seem convinced/ing while professing a claim with gusto but are actually full of shit. Seems like something Mark Rober would do, i.e., staging scenes like a reality TV show.

This wouldn't be his first foray into making "controversial" videos based on sciency-sounding nonsense. Look no further than his "299792 km wire loop" video, and at least a dozen video replies debunking it.
