Video

Nobody asked but ...

Videos are mostly shadows on the wall of Plato's Cave.  Yet humans persist in treating them as first hand perceptions in the full sunlight.  I have just left a Web discussion in which a male decided it was OK to hit women based on a man-woman encounter in an Internet video.  That reminds me of the time that Doctor Senator Bill Frist declared Terri Schiavo OK from a news video.  Not OK.  Here's a rule of thumb, do not use videos to  make lifeboat scenaria.
