This is a non-concern. You can see videos where a specific thing happens where people will describe a different thing happening. Not some eyewitness off memory. You can look at a video and there will be people on Reddit saying stuff that didn’t happen.

Then you can see any conversation about the video will be even more divorced from reality.

None of this requires video manipulation.

The majority of people are idiots on a grand scale. Just search any social media for PEMDAS and you will find hordes of people debating the value of 2 + 3 / 5 on all sorts of grounds. “It’s definitely 1. 2+3 =5 then by 5 is 1” stuff like that.
