True. It’s one of only a handful of YT videos I’ve ever left a comment on. In summary, just because something is “wrong” at one scale doesn’t invalidate useful models and workaday theorems at another.

Also, for such a pedantic video his field lines were wrong.

Please review the stated history of events—-it IS extremely unlikely.

She is making a case in the court of public opinion.

Granted she has more clout than the “average joe” (and the very fact that this is even being discussed is evidence for it) but ANY case without corroborating evidence is just hearsay.

She should “put up or shut-up” and the levels of “put” required are so minimal that her PR credibility before the “court” on this matter has a very short half-life.

Yes. Given the timing of things (why even make this public?), the low likelihood of the event, and crucially the lack of any evidence, I see the preponderance of the probabilities weighing against her claims.
This feels way too coincident with her recent book release.

Given her already public figure persona and proceeds from prior works, why EVER take the risk to ship such personal hardware to a 3rd party?!!

Just get a new phone and sync a back-up…unless it just might be beneficial PR to, apparently, do the “risky” thing and carp about it.

So far, I see ZERO corroborating evidence—even something as simple as a suitably redacted screenshot of an email to Google support.

Trust, but verify & extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
