Why it works
A quiet logo-to-title opening at 0:00–0:03 leads into 896 words of calm narration supported by portraits, maps, documents, and numbered chapter cards. The website setup at 4:13, mundane debunk at 4:27, and joking reversal at 4:33 coincide with the strongest replay peak at 4:25–4:31. The detector reports only nine shots despite 81 internal picture changes, so its cut rate understates the designed montage.
