Nope, it wasn't sarcasm., per se. I was pointing out how a reasonable person may see the video in a different way.

Not trolling, per se, Just playing devil's advocate. I'll try to be more obvious next time.

Dear imfleck,

Please remember not to use the phrase "per se" anymore.

I was pointing out how a reasonable person may see the video in a different way.

A "reasonable" person might have to be shown the relevant features, but then would recognize them thereafter. The clip actually opens with helpful labeling, so that's taken care of.

After that, the motions themselves become obvious -- right down to that little lip-smacking thing that babies do when they stop crying. "Reasonable" people, among whom I count myself, can easily recognize the baby in the picture, and can see that she is, in fact, making the motions of crying.

What you're apparently saying, though, is that a "reasonable" person would never see those things, even after being shown what to look for. IOW, those people are not "reasonable" at all, but willfully ignorant.
