I'm not GP, but running over that video I'm actually having a hard time finding any detail present before the dragon obscures them not either exit frame right when the camera pans left slightly near the end or not re-appear with reasonably crisp detail after the dragon gets out of the way.
Most of the mob of people are indistinct, but there is a woman in a lime green coat who is visible, and then obstructed by the dragon twice (beard and ribbon) and reappears fine. Unfortunately when dragon fully moves past she has been lost to frame right.
There is another person in black holding a red satchel which is visible both before and after the dragon has passed.
Nothing about the storefronts appear to change. The complex sign full of Chinese text (which might be gibberish text: it's highly stylized and I don't know Chinese) appears to survive the dragon passing without even any changes to the individual ideograms.
There is also a red box shaped like a Chinese paper lantern with a single gold ideogram on it at the store entrance which spends most of the video obscured by the dragon and is still in the same location after it passes (though video artifacting makes it more challenging to verify that that ideogram is unchanged it certainly does not appear substantially different)
What detail are you seeing that is different before and after the obstruction?

First frame, guy in blue hat next to a flag. That flag and the guy is then gone afterwards.
The two flags near the wall are gone, there is something triangular there but there was two flags before the dragon went past.
Then not to mention that the crowd is 6 people deep after the dragon went past, while just 4 people deep before, it is way more crowded.
Instead of the flag that was there before the dragon, it put in 2 more flags afterwards far more to the left.
Third second a guy was out of frame for a few frames, and suddenly gained a blue scarf. AFter dragon went by he turned into a woman. Next to that person was a guy with a blue cap, he completely disappears.
> Most of the mob of people are indistinct
No they aren't, they are mostly distinct and basically all of them changes. If you ignore that the entire mob totally changes both in number and appearance and where it is, sure it is pretty good, except it forgot the flags, but how can you ignore the mob when we talk about the model remembering details? The wall is much less information dense than the mob, so that is much easier to remember for the model, the difficulty is in the mob.
> but there is a woman in a lime green coat who is visible,
She was just out of frame for a fraction of a second, not the big bit where the dragon moves past. The guy in blue jacket and blue cap behind her disappears though, or merges with another person and becomes a woman with a muffler after the dragon moved past.
So, in the end some big strokes were kept, and that was a very tiny part of the image that was both there before and after the dragon moved past so it was far from a whole image with full details. Almost all details are wrong.
Maybe he meant that the house looked mostly the same, I agree the upper parts does, but I looked at the windows and they were completely different, it is full of people heads after the dragon moved past while before it was just clean walls.
