Took a look, it’s a long thread! I don’t see a debunking as such apart from your own statement that they were flagged for melody. Apologies if I’ve missed something that is key to this. However I respectfully suggest that this is a misunderstanding of copyright and the content ID process. Content ID will flag the composition which includes melody and lyrics. This is because of the way music publishing has traditionally operated. So a flag for composition could be melody, lyrics, arrangement or any combination of those. As someone else pointed out (though this won’t be why are getting a content ID flag) there is actually a separate copyright in a performance - so even if you record a musical performance you would (technically) need the agreement of all the performers involved. This is common in film and TV where “release forms” are signed, as well professional record label recordings.
