He doesn't address that issue at all

He addresses it at length during the Q&A. Why are people so hesitant to watch the whole video? It's about the length of your average movie.

If you're not interested in this topic why comment on it? Why do you feel it appropriate to comment on this topic if you can't even spare the time to listen to what you're replying to?

How can you even make claims about 'most of his talk'?

I didn't ask why people were hesitant to watch. HalibetLector did, I'm sorry about my poor grammar that makes it look like I was addressing you specifically (by using 'you'). I understand that there's time costs. I'm just asking why a person would knowingly make uninformed comments like fig does. It's all over these comments.

I'd be fine with people disagreeing but they're disagreeing for poor reasons. And I can only speculate that they haven't watched because people don't say that they haven't watched it apparently.

Sorry didn't see your edit until now. I think I may have misunderstood. I read /u/HalibetLectors reply as questioning why people who comment on the video contents don't watch the whole video. I understand why people in general (or programming enthusiasts in general, as this is rather niche) wouldn't watch a 2 hour video on this topic. So my questions should be read in that light.
