    You should always doublecheck Kurzgesagt videos, btw.
    They’re not a good sole source due to being heavily simplified (they know this and often provide further reading (you probably also know this (just commenting anyway for general visibility (this should be considered good practice tbh (to be honest)))))

      Yeah, I started taking Kurzgesagt videos with a grain of salt a while ago, hence the “apparently.” Their explanation just fit NoName’s assertion pretty well. Never bad to make the possibility of being wrong explicit though!

        Seems like a potential circular reference though, judging from how popular Kurzgesagt videos are.
