Yes! We are not trying to claim that P vs NP is underrated in the video, just the bit with interpreting it as a question about inverting functions. I think using "underrated" is justified, I talked with a bunch of people about this topic and it was a new way of looking at it for a lot of them.

Of course, using the title "What P vs NP is actually about" is a bit of a stretch -- "Interesting take on P vs NP" would be more honest.

Totally justified, I hadn't thought about that framing of it myself.

I think it's just that the first time you use underrated, it seems to be referring to the problem itself, not to your specific take. With the video as context, or even just reading a few sentences in, the meaning is clearer.
