Dave Plummer seems to be a bit careless with facts in his videos, and I wouldn't generally trust him as a source of information.

In an episode on hard drives, he talked about how drivers for hard drives still report a constant number of sectors per track, so they must have a physical layout that matches that. Hard drive manufacturers are open about the actual layout of their drives and that they virtualize the hard drive for the OS so that it behaves well.

A few Microsoft engineers also dispute a lot of the facts of his stories about the development of the start menu.

Caveat emptor.

do you happen to have factual.insights into false reporting on the Mainframe in this specific video?

afaict (and I've worked with mainframes for a couple of years) this is spot on. poor signal/noise ratio but the facts are right.
