The nonsense about how the flavour gets more complex over time is just that: nonsense.
There's a video on YouTube where a hobby scientist takes a cup of water and doses it with an incredibly potent poison, a tiny fraction of which could kill. He then discards half the water, dilutes it, and repeats the process about 6 times. Finally he drinks the water and is totally unharmed.
The point is that after the pot's been half-emptied a few times, nothing remains of the previous mixtures.

I guess the video you mention wants to debunk homeopathy, but the maths as you describe it doesn't work. (Homeopathy uses 1:100 dilutions, so that would be a different game. Indeed, I think I've heard that they don't even bother with diluting 1:100, they just discard the whole contents and use what's left inside accidentally.)

Apparently it was removed because YouTube Trust and Safety didn't believe in dilutions lol
