That should read: "It is also notable that if the neutral and ground
are shorted together in the blue box, and the ammeter is clamped on
the neutral, that true input power could be double that estimated."
In the Krivit video at time 43 seconds you can see the meter is
clamped on the brown lead:

This should be correct because the current IEC 60446 standard is
neutral-blue, line-brown, and protective-earth-green/yellow.
There appears to be some kind of short white adapter between the wall
socket and the plug visible at time 41 seconds. Maybe that is just
part of the plug?
