Is sumo deadlift cheating? (my thoughts on Jeff Nippard's video)

Sumo deadlift is considered easier than the conventional deadlift. However, Jeff Nippard recently made a video where he attempted to explain through science that the sumo deadlift is not easier than the conventional. Jeff concluded that ''there is no sound evidence to support the idea that the conventional deadlift is harder than the sumo'''.

Although he claimed to support most of his arguments with science I think he missed some basic points on this topic and I made this video with the intention of adding to the subject.

This video is a science-based response to Jeff Nippard and a short presentation of some biomechanics rules on the sumo deadlift.
