The quote in the red box is what's known as a "pull quote". This is a standard journalistic practice often seen in magazines and newspapers. It's a graphic meant to draw the reader into the article. Pull quotes are necessarily short and only include a portion of the entire quote. This is different than a screenshot.

It's customary to provide the rest of the quote in the text of the article, but in this case, as the source was a video, a link to the source of the quote was provided so that it could easily be checked out.

The blog has been edited to provide the full quote in text form as is customary.

Thanks for everyone's input in making this a stronger article. Sorry for any confusion.
