I seem to remember discussion of this video back a couple of years ago when it was new. It does focus on the importance of PD, and how a bad measurement can cause serious problems. This bears out my own experience. It also points out (by visual inference) that Zenni's site as of late 2007 was not very helpful about how to measure for the correct stem length.
While I don't think the report came right out and said "the boy's glasses failed because the mother muffed the measurements," I think that might have been unfair also. There is a large population of people with less than stellar skills in this area. Many of them watch Fox; most of them watch mainstream local TV. I think waving a warning flag about the importance of getting the measurements absolutely correct is appropriate for people for whom precision is difficult.
