I don't know dude. It sounds that this YTer is a bit angry about a possible explanation that sounds reasonable and has no proof to debunk it either.

has no proof to debunk it

Yeah, because you can't prove a negative. He doesn't need to debunk it, only to provide an alternative explanation which is more likely. Occam's razor.

So was it a cart slap? No. Was the device and or cart faulty? No. Was the constructions nearby the cause? No.

We only know that something flipped the bit. So why not spice this freak accident up by saying that cosmic rays were the culprit?

The device was faulty though.
