Substance & Condemnation - Fun Fun:
1. I actually tried to be very polite about the video, considering it had no internal references or documentation of any kind, and it was from a questionable youtube channel.
2. I was very articulate, and very careful, to NOT claim the story was untrue; I simply said this video had no internal documentation to support it's claims.
It is possible for a video to be badly done, and to ignore using any documentation, QUITE REGARDLESS of whether or not the story is true... so I was very careful, and articulate, in what I actually said.
3. You did NOT post any time stamps to verifiable documentation within the video... presumably because there isn't there.
This was really my ONLY point about the video at all - that it made claims without any documentation.
4. You did post a few video links, but they were very nonspecific, and none of them even went to a specific video.
This isn't really the best way to support an argument... linking to big piles of non specific things, things which will take someone a lot of time to go through just to see if it's even relevant.
Pointing to a huge pile of messy stuff when someone asks for a specific bit of info... mmm... might give someone the impression you're just trying to be annoying on purpose.
Surely not.
5. I did find that ONE of your links went to an actual, specific, verifiable interview.
EXCELLENT!
And...
THE ACTUAL CONTENT OF THE INTERVIEW DID NOT SUPPORT THE "CLICKBAIT" TITLE ON THE VIDEO.
Conclusion:
1. SMOKE WITH EXAGGERATION:
There ARE new military developments with the Navy, but the TITLE ON THE VIDEO IS WILDLY EXAGGERATED.
2. CLICKBAIT:
A wildly exaggerated title is what we call... CLICKBAIT.
3. COMMON PLACE PROBLEM:
It isn't Lilywolf's fault that people create "clickbait" titles.
4. CHECK ORIGINAL SOURCES:
We should always LOOK for original sources, so we can then check them... otherwise, as happened here, we really have no idea if the story is true, false, or just partly true with a lot of exaggeration for clickbait purposes.
