Sounds like 95% of scientific studies these days. People always try to pick the best option given multiple items to select from. It's basically what you learn in persuasive argument courses - show the best evidence as it is not in your best interest to show the weakest evidence. If they altered it I would find that truly deceitful, but if they just picked the transcoded version that looked best they were just doing their job. Beyond that its just as likely they posted the first one they saw and had no intention to even find the "best" one.
- p49k 8y agoI don't find this to be a valid comparison. The goal of scientific studies typically don't overlap 100% and there are lots of differences between how they are conducted, whereas high-resolution, high-framerate, non-cropped video is always more valid than a wonky GIF of the exact same recording, so if the two versions portray a different version of events, it's clear which one to use.
