I think the smoke you see in the video, while the band saw rips through the wood is evidence of oil content (either that or a very, very fine or dull blade). I also agree that weight comparisons are probably a more accurate measure. (Splitting the wood lengthways would reduce the heat, but introduce other problems.)
However, none of this really address the underlying theory about oiling/not oiling. I like his comments at the end (basically, "Do whatever your teacher tells you."), but I also agree with him in that I never oil my wood instruments (in 40+ years of playing), and have never had an instrument crack, deform, or otherwise change. (Even if I were to experience a crack in the future - it would be very difficult to know what caused it, as even oiled instruments sometimes crack.)
I see it as a "vitamins" topic, or "weight loss pill" topic. If the benefits were obvious, consistent, and undeniable...then everyone would do it. But, as long as the results fall into the categories of, "It really helps!", "I think it helps", "I think it might be helping.", "It can't hurt." "It might hurt." "I'm not sure it does anything.", "I don't think it helps." "It doesn't help at all." - then the debate will continue, and it seems that "live and let live" is the best policy, instead of pushing one idea or the other as absolute truth.

PS. I have been swayed by earlier conversations on this topic, and have been close to oiling a few times. I think my last stance was that I would oil any of my clarinets which have been in storage for a long time - when I put them to use again. I still might. Not sure yet. I'm really not convinced there is a "right" and "wrong" answer here.
