Surprisingly, it was actually sort of interesting to analyze, and forced
me to think more than I had about the various ways the term
"information" can be used in the context of physics. So I actually feel
like I learned a little bit from the analysis.
I guess, even when you see a magic show where you know the magician is
exploiting misdirection and false assumptions, it's still sometimes fun
to try and figure out how they did it.

Susskind is, of course, a brilliant mind when it comes to finding (and
explaining) new ways of thinking about stuff. No arguing about that. And
for a professional physicist his lectures (those I've seen so far at any
rate) are surprisingly easy to grasp.
