“So how does this composition get this reputation then? Well, it’s hard to make so other people don’t make it and test. And what the Germans in 2011 published is ”Hey, it’s too sensitive and we can’t test it because it’s below our threshold for sensitivity”… Which doesn’t mean suppose that’s a fucking zero then, it just means they have some cut off.”

There is some speculation in the comments that he got a slightly different chemical.

I knew that was going to be Explosions&Fire before I even clicked the link. His videos are a lot of fun even though I can't follow most of the chemistry.
