Your claim that, because there are two people in the video, ONLY TWO PEOPLE are the source of the assertions in the video, is, of course, moronic.

“My kids turned out great” is NOT a response, certainly not a rebuttal, of the research. It’s like saying, “Economists say that the minimum wage destroys jobs. But that’s bunk, because I have a job.”

People have been drinking camel urine for millennia. Do you drink camel urine?

If my argument is flimsy, how much flimsier is the argument presented by two unknowns that "refute" the gathered evidence of centuries, along with common sense?

Any Behaviorist will tell you than rewarding certain actions encourages their repetition, while punishing others deters them.

If you put a piece of cheese in front of a mouse and then shock it every time it tries to eat the cheese, it will soon stop trying to eat it. If you give the mouse a choice of levers, one of which gives it a shock, the other of which delivers a food pellet, the mouse will soon ignore the shock lever and focus entirely on the reward lever.

Negative reinforcement works, your head-in-the-sand denial notwithstanding. And while I do not drink camel urine, you obviously drink kool-aid. The namby-pamby flavored kind.
