You can compute triangular numbers and factorials using the same logic, doesn’t mean either is wrong, just that you’d be wrong if you tried to compute one in place of the other.
That is not analogous to this. The fact you can measure the same effect using light as using dark should immediately tell you that you aren’t measuring dark at all.
The reality is all you are measuring is discreet points and calling it movement. It’s not movement even in a loose sense. Calling this movement is like calling an animated character running across the screen movement. Just like that is hundreds of individual images that your brain perceives as movement, the light or shadow is thousands of points of light (or, in the reverse, absence of light) that your brain perceives as movement.
If there was a ring around the earth and you shine a laser pointer at it and rotate 360 degrees you could measure insane “speeds” of the dot moving along the ring. By the same logic his video uses you can claim to have invented teleportation and essentially infinite speed by turning the light off, moving it, and having the light or shadow be in another location when you turn it back on. Hopefully that really illustrates how much these are individual “things”, not things “moving”.
The photons making the light, or with the shadow, the photons being blocked, are not the same photons that were making the initial point. They are new ones in a new location.
