trust me, bro:
here is the receipt.
the claim
Video file size directly correlates with perceived visual quality
the verdict
CONTESTED
the evidence cuts both ways
confidence 30/100

While traditional compression models assume a direct trade-off where higher bitrates or file sizes are needed for better quality, advanced perceptual coding and machine-vision techniques prove that file size and perceived visual quality can be decoupled.
