That seems a bit hyperbole. Sure, it's a regression compared to the state of five years ago. But in the bigger picture, it's only been a bit over a decade that recording devices have become omnipresent, maybe 50 years since retail-grade hardware has existed at all. It's not like humanity has no experience in dealing with situations where there's no (reliable) video evidence. For the longest time, hearsay was all we had. And it's not like we couldn't 'reason about the world' back then.
