As always Old's appreciate your viewpoint. I would not call it Lazy as so much as ones perspective on the auto's. Or as @surreal1272 said one persons subjective viewpoint.
In watching the video, I get the extensive focus on the RS which to me proves as you pointed out just how great a job Corvette Engineering did to get the E-Ray to be so close to the RS and yet pretty much trump the rest of the 911 lineup.
We know that having a benchmark is important and as such, have a bigger performance auto equal or beat the 911 is great.
I have no doubt that when GM does benchmark the C8 on the German race course it will set records.
Records is the key piece as we always find companies leapfrogging the competition to only then loose the lead again the following year for some reason or another.
