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.
