Think of it as a question on a math test. Student A goes through the complicated math problem to arrive at the answer “42”. Student B has the answer key, so answers “42”.

They look the same to the teacher grading, but the student representing a live game had to do all the calculations to get to the answer. The student representing the video got to simply look up the answer from someone else’s hard work. It takes the same hard work to make a video, but it’s super easy to play a video once it’s been made.
