Ah, now I see. My bad. By the end of the video, I’d lost the nuance that you never stated the clip was of the 3 innocent subjects portion of the experiment. Might be worth signposting that explicitly? I’ll retract my comment above, but I also suspect that others may make the same mistake that I did.
On introspection, I think the issue is that I read the “3 innocent subjects” bit, visualized it in my mind, got interested to see it play out, and spent 8 minutes waiting to see it on the video clip. Not seeing it, I just immediately thought, “oh, must have been an incorrect description of the video,” rather than going back to carefully think about your wording. So definitely my bad, but also a mistake I think some others are likely to make, and which may be worth anticipating as a writer. Note to self for any future blog posts with embedded video!
