I think you make a good point in that it is strange C7 is assumed to mean the flatted 7 is being used, whereas, a C9 or C13 does not assume a flatted2 or a flatted 6, but rather, the note which counts 2 and 6 on the major scale. However, I understand "dominant" anything just means the chord is functioning at the 5th degree, e.g., the chord G if you are playing in C (C is the tonic) -- so, you can have a dominant 7 (flatted 7) or a dominant major 7 (with a perfect 7). Right??
This is good stuff. Not for newbies but good for advanced beginners and intermediates. Thanks for the video.

Dominant 7 = b7th and that's it. No major 7 dominant 7 chord listed though I'm sure there's people who create that.....
