Using videos to support argument

I agree with what you said, but with some provisos.

First, you will note that I have been pointing to specific locations in a video for the points I am making unless it is fairly short. And in the recent one linked by NH for Israel possible war crimes I asked for such specific locations.

But often, I don't trust the printed word. Maybe I am too skeptical, but when I see "xx said this", I like to see actual video of the person saying that, and with enough context surrounding it. Video is "proof". Written word is too easily manipulated. Written word is too easily abbreviated or context shortened to address society's reducing attention spans.

Of course now that deep fake videos are becoming reality, that "proof" is becoming harder.
