Randall does have a lot of geology humor specifically. I wouldn’t be surprised if he knows a few geologist.

I’m irrationality angry about the term ‘bottom soil’ and that it’s below granite

Bottom soil: Is in the middle of the soils
Top soil #2: on the bottom

The earth is round, so bottom is actually top. Middle is deep inside the earth (“bottom”)

I don’t believe in dowsing, I have seen it done exactly once, and then a farm dam was dug with an underground spring directly in the centre of it, so my observations show it to have a 100% success rate from a sample size of 1.

Wikipedia agrees with you. Commonly viewed as a psuodoscience. The equipment is very good at amplifying subtle hand movements.
