I don't have the exact video on hand, but in my case it was a video discussing the performance characteristics of LEDs (which is a regular topic of his), and while it was clear he had done a fair bit of research on the subject, his conclusions were based on a very narrow reading of the resources (which were intended for a technical audience and assumed a certain level of technical background), which belied the confident forcefulness of his conclusions. Other channels (e.g. Veritasium, Numberphile) delegate the heavy lifting of explaining details to professionals by including interview segments, and in this case he would have benefited from letting an engineer explain the topic, which might have tempered his ultimate assertions. It's only a small thing, but it behooves me to consider the Gell-Mann amnesia effect.
