my proof is that i read your source. i've seen it, that's definitely not how i remember the article going.
Well, your memory is faulty and that is not proof. I read it too, and that's definitely not how I remember it going.
I asked the author about it, by the way, and he agrees, NOT A RETRACTION! (bold mine):

Kevin, is your update a retraction of the original statement?

No, it is an addition of content (namely the animated GIF). Like it says at the UPDATE.
It is noted that there is a slight change in the image which several video professionals have told me is due to auto-focus or auto-sensitivity adjust due to the bright white sleeve in the foreground in the second still.
