You're probably referring to the two videos near the end of my post, which are the ones I recorded. I accept the criticism and admit, I am not an educator.Is it just me or are these terrible videos? I sat down to enjoy them, and and quickly realized either they don't understand what they are talking about or can't explain it. Maybe both.

The last video was a demonstration in response to claims on another forum that current flows opposite directions through the loads on L1 and L2. The claims were "proven" by others using LTSpice simulator, which allows one to change the direction of current flow by re-orienting "polarized resistors." Without that context I can see how it would be confusing. My apologies for not explaining.
Regarding the second to last video, that is my first and (so far) only attempt at an instructional video. It is understandable for some and not for others. Two years of responding to comments on it reveals that I lack the skill to broadcast ideas in a way that is universally understandable to all. I recorded it because, at the time, there were no other videos which clearly explained the topic, which I could direct people to when the topic came up. That has changed however, and Dave Gordon has put together a much better video than mine. If you're interested in a better understanding of 120/240V and my videos weren't on your wavelength, please check out his. With the understanding he imparts, it should be more apparent what I was failing to convey.
