What do we do about Video Examples that match the trope but aren't good demonstrations?

I've had this concern before about other video examples, but it's being brought to mind by the Dan Dare / Ares Battlesuit example just added to Adaptive Armor, which has the caption and the characters describe the suit's abilities as matching the trope, but never actually shows them in the clip, which means that while it is an accurate example, it's not a good demonstration.

Does this mean we should rate it highly for being a match or poorly for being a bad demonstration?

Video examples exist to demonstrate examples. If they don't do that, then they shouldn't be kept around.

I rejected that video but you can report videos that don't match the trope or don't showcase the trope well here
