Exactly the problem. You're not advocating a position or presenting data or making an argument. You're pointing out a video and expecting people to critique it. Aside from the issue that many Hypography members can't watch videos online as they use dial up, this still isn't a fair thing to ask. You skillfully tell people not to object to the video because it's creators are biased nor comment that it makes strange claims that go against prevailing scientific understanding.
It seems to me the onus is on you in this regard. If the video struck a chord with you then by all means... critique it. Does it give a conclusion that you agree with or that you can support? What is it? What data agrees with it? I have full confidence in your ability to present such a position...
