Scott Manley has a one hour video going over all of this, including the ridiculous redaction of ~~James Cameron~~ providing expert testimony by first saying he directed The Abyss
James Cameron is genuinely a world expert on submersibles. He made The Abyss and Titanic because he loves the deep sea
He made Titanic solely as an excuse to go down to the Titanic and film the wreck. He didn't even have an idea for the story when he pitched the movie
Then he became the first person to ever design and dive his own submersible to Chellenger Deep, and only the second ever submersible to reach that depth (after the US Navy's Trieste)
He’s definitely an expert, I just thought it was funny they redacted his name like we wouldn’t know who he was.
lol he first said he directed Titanic.

You don’t have to get very far to realize who it is.
