so? btw i did briefly (on mute) and was wondering it the commenter was joking or trolling, but it doesn't really matter.
My bad, it was the the only video link in the comments and you had said "This just confirmed my principally suspicious attitude about trusting videos as sources." - so I just assumed that was the video you were referring too. Oops.
Yes what I mean is that I just don't care about people supporting arguments online by any video, except when the arguments is about that video itself or events it is depicting. Video is, educational exceptions aside maybe, strictly superfluous or even detrimental as a medium to convey thoughts, except for rare circumstances.

But maybe that's just me.

I didn't hear the TRON/TROFF thing from the video, so I also won't trust comments made regarding a video by someone who hasn't watched it.

It was something that I heard around when the original Tron was released which I saw in theatres.
