That is because, as is evident from the video, the Gunboat is very significantly misplaying the matchup, and winning anyways. If this Gunboat played aggressively and charged the snub, or perhaps did a little bit of sudden-stopping-and-core-dumping (that's also a great moment to drop a mine with higher velocity towards the snub), Mort would be getting absolute crushed. Despite the fact that Mort is likely playing the matchup significantly better than the Gunboat, the Gunboat still wins, which kind of proves the point people are trying to make.
