Very interesting watch. Shows very clearly how different prisoner's dilemma strategies work and what traits make a successful one.

This honestly seems like unintentional mistake rather than trying to cut corners or intentional misinformation.
If I recall correctly, he also made a followup video on the topic to answer to some of the criticism but I really don't remember the specifics at all

Yeah, basically Derek didn't unpack his definitions very well at the beginning and led to a lot of confusion and incorrect assumptions by others, but at least 3 other channels did replicate the experiment and did find the slight voltage jump across the wires faster than the full voltage along the wire.
