The issue is that it doesn’t even purport to give direct translations of the three interviewees, or explicitly state that each person it cuts to is who the man is referring to

I did actual bring that up, but they just ignored it, thanks for the advice tho I do have a problem with letting myself get baited sometimes, imo it's not so much about winning the rhetorical argument against the one person more about putting the counter narrative out there so that any 'neutral' readers can hopefully form a more objective opinion
