OK but for a couple of issues.
The angle is he measuring at 1:58. I realise what he's getting at, but if you're going to the trouble of making a professional looking vid by doing animated drawing on it, you'd want to get the numbers right.
At 3:24, where the handlebar should obscure the front hub. I've seen this quoted a lot and even think of me being correct on my bikes if it's the case. However, I realised something the other day that doesn't work with it, try this out mentally......
Imagine that you set up this way on a bike and said bike has straight forks. You're sitting in the 'correct' place on the bike because you can't see the front hub for the handlebar. Now change the forks for ones with some rake. Nothing else has moved, the steering tube is just the same and the stem is in the same place, but you can now see the front hub bacause it's an extra 50mm further forward. So you're suddenly sitting in the wrong place?

Possibly, as the wheelbase is longer, the centre of gravity has changed; the way the bike turns in arcs will be slightly different and if the frame and forks flex a bit, then the bike will be flexing over a longer distance, the way your body weight and positioning effects it will have changed to be more rear orientated, your forces will be set further back in relation to this.
