    Yep. Try to apply the Wadsworth constant to Veritassium and you’ll miss almost all the context of the video.

        If he’s testing ten things you’d skip him naming them all and mentioning price and commenting on (usually) unimportant things.

          I’d say that’s context. Why would I watch the video without knowing what he’s testing? The constant can’t definitely be taken too far.

            It’s when he’s got a lot of items that it drives me nuts. I want to get to the testing so I can criticize his methodology to myself.
