+ 1. We want to see all the tests.

Something I don't understand. Alex said this in the commentary of his first video:

Sounds good, right? If there’s someone at the house, they could signal the dog that the owner is coming home, and you’d screw up the experiment, right? It turns out – and I heard this initially from Dr. Sheldrake, and then I found it and confirmed it in the work that we’ve done so far – it turns out dogs are more likely to demonstrate this waiting behavior when someone else is around, either another person, multiple family members, or other dogs.
But with the second video, he's saying:

The dog in the house are more sensitive to the first person that comes home, and are less likely to wait when someone is in the house.

Is it just me, or those two sentence are exactly the opposite of each other?
