Why do Judo people continue to defraud the masses by demonstrating O soto in this fashion? This is not how O soto is done in competition. The biomechanics in this clip are not the biomechanics found in a real O soto.
Yamashita does the same type of demonstration . Steps forward with his right leg (he's lefty), raises his leg sky-high, then chops down the cherry tree. On the other hand, in competition he does the opposite: keeps his right leg back to drive forward, hooks with his left leg without going sky-high, then pushes uke over. That's the difference between fantasy demonstration Judo and actual competition Judo.
That's why there's an emphasis on randori in Judo. You get shown these demonstrations to see exactly what is going on. During randori and live drills each person has their own preferences etc. These demonstrations clearly illustrate across points. How exactly are you supposed to display a move to students, by practicing randori and making them watch then do? Demonstrations and randori, with intructor guiding, both have there places.
obviously you've never had the pleasure of training with Yamashita however on the 2 times I've been fortunate enough to be on the same mat as him he always illustrates that you over-emphasis the movement in uchi-komi to place emphasis on the required action so that if you only get half of this movement in shiai you still have a good chance of throwing them

Don't say stuff unless you're going to back it up with some evidence or something relevant.

@GeraldLafon Yeah, I am a little brute and everytime I tried to use Gokyo Osoto Gari to throw someone in randori.

I've done it that way. In a dynamic application it can all be much more messy. however this is a fine way to demonstrate the principles of the throw.
No one is defrauding anyone. Your bitterness might be better received elsewhere.
