He's a troll and his agenda is to reel in people like you. I would say

Reel in to what purpose?

As far as I can tell all he does is to explain what we all already know,
in a way that none of us understands. Quite a feat, really,

These comments give me a lot of satisfaction as once you are shown how it is done it all becomes common knowledge and easy. The illusory vs actual loops of the planets owes a lot to astrophotographers and animation so have no problem commending others for their efforts -

To account for the Earth's orbital motion in tandem with the loop created by Venus brings a new perspective in where the direct/retrogrades of the inner planets do not occur against a stationary background as the outer direct/retrogrades do. This is because the stars close to the Sun (where the smaller circumferences of Venus and Mercury inhabit) transition from left to right of the Sun as a consequence of the Earth's orbital motion -
