As a non native English speaker, I had to read your comments to understand the "Hot potato" one... Seems that I'm not as fluent in English as I thought (my accent is shit)
I can understand (I hate this video title actually), but yeah, telling that "That guy is an idiot" without listening at what he said is not smart
During the video, he's listening and debating against some French (?) phylosoph I suppose, that basically said shit like English is just French; then this video adds details about why Yes, but also why not, and where yes and no
Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video
(Title is clickbait, video content is much more sourced and explained)

Cueball: Hey, check it out: e^π^−π is 19.999099979. That's weird.
Black Hat: Yeah. That's how I got kicked out of the ACM in college.
Cueball: ...what?Black Hat: During a competition, I told the programmers on our team that e^π^−π was a standard test of floating-point handlers -- it would come out to 20 unless they had rounding errors.
Cueball: That's awful.
Black Hat: Yeah, they dug through half their algorithms looking for the bug before they figured it out.

Also, I hear the 4th root of (9^2^ + 19^2^/22) is pi.
