And into a submersible held together with duct tape.

Yeah. That would be called “context”, of which we have zero of. And which you acknowledge matters.

How is context not important? We don’t even have a full second of clip before he throws the punch.

Nope. He would have looked at the original, either in a moment of confusion, looking from the skimmer to the original, or to make sure the original had no damage.

His reaction was unmistakably that of someone who 100% knew what to expect, and the calling the police line was just a gut reaction to feign ignorance and take control of the situation.

That was child like level of deception.
