Well, there you go feigning ignorance when you've lost the debate again!

No one who watched the original footage can objectively claim those "edits"
were for "clarification"; in fact, part of the response came from another 
question, if memorey serves.

It reminds me of the time 60 Minutes creatively editted an interview with 
Clinton to make him look good and then twenty years later showed the original 
footage which did not.
