If we can see that his elbow hasn't arrrived to the end of the flag yet when it starts to move, why does knowing the precise distance matter?
Avoided the whole list yet again. What's wrong, are you afraid to answer with your "too clear to obfuscate" claim?

Clearly and unequivocally states the movement occurs 2 feet to the left of the flag pole.

States it starts when he is level with the flag pole.
As I said they contradict each other. But since the first claim is more accurate, I will take this as your final answer.
His elbow was too far away from the flag to touch it when it started to move. That's all that matters.
Bollocks. There's a couple of other things that matter too. How far is his body from the flag edge that moves. How much air is pushed in front of a moving object at slow speed.
He is well over a metre away AT LEAST and I've seen footage stills that show it to be closer to double that. For argument's sake I'll stick to 1 metre.

A very simple question, how does your "atmosphere explanation" equate the flag moving when we can see that air does not behave that way? The viewers are demanding you answer this!
