I’d say it’s short, even though you wouldn’t say just based on video length. It addresses the basics very briefly and clearly enough, so I’d share with you all. It might come useful to explain that everlasting question on what is Systems Engineering and what is it you’re doing. Then the blank stare and quick subject change when you’re trying to explain. This probably still won’t make things much clearer, but just saying … Maybe it’s easier to just say you’re assembling jigsaws when asked: “we are the ones who get things work!”.
