It is a waste of time.
The video may be tiny, tiny, tiny evidence against the claim made. The fact that this was the video someone chose as evidence against the claim is a good deal more significant, and is evidence for the claim that overwhelms the tiny, tiny evidence.
Yet it still is a waste of time to present small evidence in favor of conclusions people already believe, even more so than it would be to bring infinitesimally small evidence against such claims.
