    Gonna go out on a limb here and say that if you believed he made mistakes then he really did a great job in the video. The Gavster knew what the outcome was for each setup and manufactured the "mistakes" to demonstrate the problem solving process for us viewers. It's a technique used to help us learn, and he's darn good at it too.
