I really appreciate you linking to this video, and did enjoy it. I still believe the video I linked to is the best for a general audience. I'm not sure someone without prior knowledge would follow that video.

"Plays into common misconceptions" is one of the worst properties that a video targeted at general audiences can have. This even happens if your video is technically correct but sounds sorta like the common misconception [1]. Someone who watched the Dr. Quantum video has learned a bunch of keywords and phrases associated with quantum mechanics. They've now heard of waves and particles and detectors and whatnot. But they have been actively misled with respect to how those things behave. I bet it's possible to put together a reasonable looking test where watching the Dr Quantum video caused scores to go down. 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVtCO84MDj8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVtCO84MDj8
