I think this is a fun one to present. One vital thing this guy misses is the initial “Arm position snap” that happens exactly once and in exactly one frame (not how real motion works - -this is how Claymation works).

I think Conspiracy Dentist covers this better, here.

This anomaly should get a lot of fence-sitters to get off the fence. Here it is played at double speed.

At double speed it looks like one would expect it to look on Earth.
