Why lead with a heavily edited clip?
one of the following is true:
1) Qteam didn't know the clip was edited.
2) Qteam knew the clip was edited.
if 1 is true, Qteam would be potentially negligent in posting it. But, a posteriori evidence shows that Qteam is devoid of negligence, therefore, this has a high probability to be false. Therefore, if 1 is false, 2 must be true.
if 2 is true, there is a reason that it was posted. I posit some of the following reasons:
a) flush someone out
b) show anons to have patience and not rush to judgement (research takes time and patience)
c) create a stir (perhaps for cover as he indicates?)
