Chris, Have you ever considered the possibility that just because you can't do something, it doesn't mean that others (like Mario) can't. While I don't agree with everything that Mario (or anyone else for that matter) posts, I certainly have, (and continue to) learn things from watching video. While it's not my only way to learn, it is a help (at least with some videos). I often ask teachers about things I saw in a video, and a couple times, I've been asked where I learned a move.
The bottom line, is that however you get the information, you then have to practice it to really get some proficiency at it, but IMO you are incorrect that watching video on youtube (or elsewhere) is of no value (with the exception of how it applies to you).
