It's like reading the little disclaimer on a crash test dummy commercial. "Do not try this at home." To say that this video was 'sped up' is basically telling your readers you think they're handicapped.

Reciprocally, I have visited a few hackspaces and witnessed vignettes along the lines of someone saying 'I know Javascript, therefore I'm an engineer!' before they then cut their hand open in a completely predictable way with an angle grinder, having just rebuked you for trying to 'interfere' with their use of said angle grinder because you could see the wheel nut wasn't tightened down properly (this is a true story).
The moral is: don't assume other's backgrounds, and don't over-assume your own. We all come at this stuff from different directions and a pointer can help some of the audience, even if its redundant for others.
