The classic physics bait-and-switch. Spend your childhood being fed simplified models where "air resistance can be ignored" only to discover that real-world physics is a chaotic hellscape of drag coefficients and turbulent flow. No wonder he looks betrayed. Every scientist remembers that moment when they realized their textbooks were just feeding them approximations to keep the math manageable. Next they'll tell us spherical cows aren't actually a thing.
