Ummm...

 

Came across this randomly on Youtube. Someone else can do the fact checking. This brings out my inner skeptic. That said, it was interesting.

I have no idea how factual the rebuttal is and I'm not a fan of the sarcasm, but this seemed fairly well put together.

While I would not have invested the time to seek this out, the Youtube channel of the linked video has some video titles I might watch later.

 

I don't mind the sarcasm, though I could do without the superior contempt where they admonish the general public for being gullible. Critical thinking and fact checking are great, but presuming that because most people don't bother for something so trivial as yet another boastful blowhard is just silly. The video was well produced, and dismantled the bloated claims quite well. The presenter is an archer herself and it appears the channel's producers teamed with her to write and present this.

 

I wonder if there is a Skeptic's Skeptic who meticulously researches and fact checks other skeptics and goes the additional step of providing an academic bibliography and empirical data. After all, do these skeptics expect us to take their word for it without a bibliography? I'm kidding of course. Not about the bibliography, but of the preposterous extremes.

 

Personally, I'm just stranded indoors from the snow and trying to entertain myself.

Well, it was listed as one of the videos to watch directly at the end of the original.

It came up in a Youtube robo-playlist. It was unrelated to what I had been watching but after the relevant videos finished, it appeared. At the end, another unrelated video loaded so I never saw any suggestions. I stopped the video after it, hit the back button and posted the video as this thread. I use a Firefox add-on which defaults to large format and HD which pushes the suggested video list down under the video area so even once I was back on the page for the video, I still didn't see the suggestion.

I understand exactly what you are saying. I'm sorry if I came across as anything other than helpful, as that's what I was going for. I actually really enjoyed your original video.

You were being helpful, and it was appreciated. I'd have never seen that video response if you hadn't posted it. I found both videos interesting in their own way.

 

My response was merely an explanation of why I never saw the video in the suggestion list. It was not the result of any kind of upset.

 

I thought you (or someone else) might find the detail concerning the Firefox add-on interesting. I was tired of Youtube never defaulting to HD despite setting my account options for it. The add-on was a nice solution. It also has a nice setting that prevents autoplay (except with playlists). That lets me load multiple new videos each in a new tab without needing to pause them. Then I just watch each sequentially. It's the sort of control and customization I like so much about Firefox.
