I get that. I guess I just don't understand the inordinate fixation from all parties on the rotation, be it from the object itself or from the gimbal. What difference does it make? If the rotation is from the gimbal it doesn't debunk the entire saga and if the rotation is from the object it doesn't mean it's an alien spacecraft.
When these videos came out, people, the TTSA with Elizondo, Mellon, pilots on History channel, Fravor etc all appeared on TV/news etc to claim that these videos specifically showed unusual, impossible things. They all appeared on news segments adjacent to these videos or talking specifically about these videos.
They had either looked at them themselves or had investigated them with experts or were repeating some analysis from the AATIP (Official Navy dept that Elizondo was a part of)
The claims are still online at the TTSA page, the History channel segments are linked in some of the relevant threads.

Go Fast: "The unidentified vehicle appears as a white oval shape moving at high speed from top right to lower left of the screen flying very low over the water."

Gimbal "the object begins a series of distinct rotations and changes orientation by almost 100 degrees
. Its orientation is now perpendicular to the horizontal plane despite the headwinds. This maneuver is executed in a manner that is inconsistent with current principles of aerodynamics,
and possibly indicative of a vacuum environment."

Flir/Nimitz "Extreme maneuverability and startling changes in acceleration"
The problem is that we investigated these claims and found them wanting, there were obvious incorrect maths in Go Fast, it's clear the rotation in Gimbal is a camera artefact and the startling changes in acceleration in Flir/Nimitz are a result of a lost lock and camera zoom. Our analysis of these videos is specific to the claims made, it's not like the videos were put out without comment and we are all just looking at them, we are answering claims made by some of the same people still appearing next to them making claims.
These people are aware or should be aware of these debunks, yet they still appear on the news next to these videos, they told us they were interesting, that was the point of them. Now they are stepping down a bit on some of the claims in the small debunk/UFO twitter space, saying oh the interesting stuff happens after/before the video. "Oh the rotation that was inconsistent with aerodynamics, that's not the big deal when did we say it was?" Umm you said it was on numerous occasions.
The main issue is the lack of acknowledgement of the videos not showing anything in any space other than in small interviews, appearing on a minor YT channel saying "oh well the rotation is not as interesting as the crazy shit I saw just after/before" and the next day being on CNN showing the GIMBAL rotation clip on repeat with voice over of "what I saw was beyond our technology"
