All of his videos that I've seen have a weird thing where he challenges people to explain something, and then he reveals he was talking about something else and their explanation isn't relevant. This is just https://xkcd.com/169/
His videos don't strike me as intending to educate. They strike me as intending to show how much more clever he is than you - and it's entirely that he came up with some weird gotcha that people logically assume he couldn't be talking about because it's nonsense.
It's like watching a smug teenager who never grew out of it. No thanks, I don't need that reminder of how grating I was.

That comic reminds me of all the times I've seen someone pose the Monty Hall Problem without mentioning that the host always reveals a goat on first round.
