  1. Such a relief to see your modest shirt today, Sam.

  2. Good for George. The press consensus is wrong on this one.

  3. The definition of "ad hominem" used here is incorrect. "Ad" means "to," not "at," and an ad hominem is an argument to the biases of an audience, not an attack on a person. The spread of this foolish error dates from roughly the 1960s, when high school Latin vanished but the Internet first appeared. This made ignorance more mobile than before, and so we arrive here: foolishness, with illustrations, an authoritative voice, and utter error.

  4. Superb video analogy at the opening!

  5. But advanced fighter planes, e.g. F15's and up, tend to be glued together. The guys who were involved in taking that MiG that some defector flew from the USSR to Japan in the early 1970's sneered at the time, "Can you imagine: the stupid damn Russians are still riveting everything together. Damn plane is carrying a ton of them around..." (The Japanese "gave" the plane to the USAF at Yokosuka, I think it was, and of course the USAF gave it back respectfully to the Soviets who rightfully owned it. 🤣 In a bunch of 40-foot containers. After they'd taken it apart. Very carefully...)

  6. "No further ado" lasts 5:45.

  7. Lissen up, Wildberger, this habit of yours, making your written points beforehand on posters, is ver-ree non-standard. To be accepted as a YouTube Professional(tm.) you should write everything on the blackboard in chalk while your audience watches the back of your head bobbing on camera. If we haven't seen twenty minutes of you writing on the blackboard in a 26-minute lecture, you can hardly call it a lecture, can you? It's from the Latin, "Lectum, -toribus --toribilis, `the back of the head, as on-camera'" surely?

  9. Improved maneuverability in urban areas: they suddenly stopped being maneuverable once you went out of town.

  10. "Between three and five gears"? Well, that's precise. There's only one whole number between three and five.

  11. There's a classical phrase, "The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight."

  12. Norman, The duodecimal system is always under threat, and needs to be protected. When they brought out the 25th Anniversary Edition of the Feynman Lectures on Physics, they adjusted the yard to give it a hundred inches, and it was only a storm of protest from reactionaries like myself that forced them to Stop The Presses! and change it back to thirty-six. Vigilia aeterna pretium libertatis. 👍 Well, ahem, I confess, it was probably a proofreader or more likely a truck driver for the printing company who caught it. But there are a few thousand of the 100-inch version out there. This gives the 25th Anniversary Edition the interesting distinction of having two, quite radically different, first printings.

  13. Nice work. A pleasure to watch!
