I could not really watch it all but it seems like he is just exaggerating it for attention.
The only partially controversial issue is the one on what side of the bow to shoot from. In an eastern context it's always the right but in a western context there are merits to both. Even the matter of shooting speed isn't controversial, not even amongst longbow historians. It's the opinion of Mike Loades for example that they would have held fire until a certain range and then fired as fast as they could for the duration of the window they had.
