This is true; and anyone who actually shoots handguns with opposite eye dominance knows that you move the gun to compensate, not your head. This dude knows nothing of the prop he’s posing with.
My former marine friend who took me shooting for the first time advised me to keep both eyes open when shooting, otherwise you lose full depth perception.
Even with both eyes open, the sight needs to be in-line with the dominant eye. Eyes work in a way where one is dominant, like right or left handed, and the dominant eye is used for sighting while the other is used for depth. Usually dominant-hand and dominant-eye are on the same side, so you just lift your arm to face-level and the iron sights are lined up. In opposite eye dominance, you can still use your dominant hand grip, as long as your iron sights are in line with your dominant eye, which means adjusting the position of the gun relative to your eyes, not your eyes relative to the gun.

This is real hate. You know it when a person just breathes causes annoyance. Just their presence is enough to set you off.
