I am really rigorously trying to stay away from the value-type dichotomy. So at around 14:00, I would say "Vec N is a dependent type because it depends on members of other types, in this case natural numbers which are members of type Nat". I think that presenting value-type dichotomy is the single biggest roadblock when it comes to practitioners understanding dependently type languages.
