  1. Uh ... once someone starts to watch a TED talk, or any other You-Tube video, it is counted as a view, so the influence of hand-gestures here seems to be a bit irrelevant, no?? So, does that mean this is "fake-science"? I might hazard a guess that talks with more hand gestures give more opportunities for icon images that look interesting or exciting, and not to mention like the porn still frames, they have to pick a frame where there is some kind of "money shot" regardless of the denomination, be it porn, or cute face, interesting chart, or what we all know ... use audio-visual aids, bright colors, smile, etc ... the icon of the talk being the preview. Or one can look at this cynically like one can view a commercial or sales pitch ... when someone doesn't have a good product or anything to say they concentrate on BS. And the other side is that BS appeals to stupid people, so we have incentivized people to try to look and act stupid and be moved by stupid stuff ... like all the reality shows on TV that have gone on for many years now and nothing on any of them has ever been of any importance.

  2. I think you don't know anything about it and cannot think, so you should learn to do that first before criticizing what you don't understand
