Is there any benefit to caching the transform in Unity? That's what was debated in "The Great Nerd War of March 2023".
In this video I do a post-mortem forensic analysis of a debate that raged across YouTube, Facebook and Discord.
The debate was triggered by comments to my most recent Unity Tutorial Videos. In this video I analyze the arguments that were made (and how they were made) and point out mistakes to avoid in online "discussions" if you want to be persuasive and not just argumentative.

05:15 - Goal for this video
08:40 - About profiling
12:56 - My benchmark tests
18:17 - Help me understand
19:03 - They're laughing at me
20:00 - The first ad hominem attack
20:19 - The debate pyramid
20:44 - Am I a noob?
22:53 - Humble pie (Where I admit I was wrong)
23:47 - Why so angry?
24:27 - No need to shout
26:02 - I was wrong about being wrong
26:47 - Refining my test program
30:33 - Some logical fallacies
