ACK! In both of those videos the ATM turns the bottom in one direction 
and the top in the opposite direction (effectively not turning the top 
piece at all). This is evil. One of the ATMs tries to defend it by 
saying: "I've developed the habit of turning the lap & the mirror to 
opposite directions by random degrees each time." but that's not how it 
looks in the video. Caveat Grinder!
