Sabine is, uh, somewhat controversial.
She is a physicist who is not into string theory or dark matter, which is definitely more controversial of a position within the physics community than outside.

It is known that some of her positions are "somewhat controversial". But how controversial is this one?

Those that are worth listening to often are.
Many that are worth listening to are controversial. But many that are controversial are not worth listening to. Which is which is a hard question to answer :)

Which position? In the video she simply embedded an interesting anecdote into textbook knowledge. Don't know what the flagged comment said though.

yes, but this means that if you divide people into those with controversial opinions, and those without, you should direct 100% of your listening to the first group. at some point you will have to be more selective than that, but that's clearly the first step

Non controversial people are worth listening to as well.

She also made a video on capitalism, which was politically controversial (obviously) but also made several blatantly, objectively wrong claims that were based on no research whatsoever (cough barter economy cough).
