I'd want to see a lot more examples of covert villany footage to be confident that this footage was atypical.

Er, I don't understand. Do you mean "was typical" or "wasn't atypical", or have I misparsed?

Amusingly, I misparsed your sentence, and was about to point out that "was typical" is the same as "wasn't atypical".

I parsed ciphergoth's comment as saying "I would want a lot more footage before I said that this footage is an exception to the rule of 'mostly sincere stupidity'."

Yes, that's what I meant.
