Well thanks for pointing that out?

It's still an excellent video that almost everyone should watch. It's dated, a little, but I am pretty sure it is still going to prove all to true.

I parsed the comment as 1) "this is not an original idea, here is the genesis" and 2) "look at this cool video." The parent comment was addressing 1 and you are addressing 2.
