you’re in for a surprise

I'm not actually. A lot of people don't want to confront evidence that they're wrong.

She didn’t reference any math textbooks because she made the video for commoners, aka not math majors.

Did you notice she's a Physics major? In other words, she doesn't have any Maths textbooks to reference.

Her explanations make sense

So, even when she couldn't explain why one calculator "sometimes obeys juxtaposition, sometimes doesn't", that still made sense to you?

technically wrong

Bingo!

I don’t think many people are going to see your reply

These comments are going to show up in search results for the rest of eternity, so I'm quite happy to debunk the disinformation in it.

you seem to have copy/pasted the reply on several comments

3 different people referred to the same video, so yeah I did something I don't normally do and copy/pasted for those 3 people. Read my other replies and you'll find they're all specific to the person I'm replying to.

It’s like you searched for the YouTube link

No, I've had multiple people tell me about it previously, as "proof" that Maths is ambiguous, hence why I wrote a thread debunking the claims she (and others) made.

It just seems suspect

It's all legit, so feel free to go back and read what I've written given that context.
