Watching a demo video, and of course it makes a plausible but factually incorrect statement that likely wasn't even noticed by the editors, within the first two minutes. Talking about a blue rubber duck it says it floats because "it's made of a material that is less dense than water". False, the material of rubber ducks is more dense than water. It floats because it contains air.

If I was going to release a highly produced marketing demo video to impress people I would definitely make sure that it doesn't contain subtle factual errors that aren't called out at all...
