I didn't not get the same take-away from that documentary. My takeaway came from looking at the status-seeking and power games this little artificial pond carved out of the internet with the help of gullible people and people with mental conditions.
That one guy at the end seemed like the only one who legitimately wants to do experiments and improve their knowledge... the vast majority of the people in the film were completely caught up in the glow of attention they get from saying the ridiculous things they say.
I'd be curious to see if the guy at the end has moved on after this experiment, or if their in-group status has convinced them that maybe some mystical force interfered with their experiment, like the other person who was trying to actively keep quiet the false results of their gyroscope experiment.
