Edit: A lot of the information comes from Zirk Fitness which is a very small youtube channel <1k Subscribers. I thought it would be best to link his video directly and support him.
Also, I didn’t watch it before posting this Doucette link and realized he also came to the same conclusion I did in the title.
How did we get here? Let’s logically follow the steps.
Mike wants to do damage control. Mike sent the publicity people a draft he still has saved to edit. They know the criticism is in the content and they do as asked to fix the concerns.
Instead of checking the work to ensure everything is done correctly, they (Mike and Co) run with it to do damage control.
Instead of checking the work before they release it. They miss the simple errors that would’ve been corrected if any genius level person took the time to give it a once over. So the massive error on one of the first pages of the document is missed.
He inserts Mike saying “I’m a perfectionist asshole with a PHD.” Then points out all the work that shows he lacks attention to detail. “impossible data, verbatim copy and paste sections, hundreds of grammatical, typographical and formatting errors”.
Thus letting us now that even though the document itself is 12 years old. Mike still hasn’t changed his working habits.
This is my favorite youtube drama in a while guys
