The video is definitely something he wants to be taken at face value and not questioned. That much is clear. And he seems to display almost no correct understanding of Newtonian mechanics on his own. I surmise his approach was to assume that whoever made that video must have been very smart, and therefore probably smarter than any critics that might be encountered. Therefore he could just repackage that video and pretend also to be as smart. But it's a cargo-cult approach, obviously. So now there's just gaslighting, arguments trying to get us to agree that the video is correct even when we've presented good reasons why it isn't, reasons he can't address and doesn't want to allow to exist.
