The video is about unrequited love with a happy ending. Here is an example of unrequited love, with no happy ending. From Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience:A Magnet Hung in a Hardware Shop.
I think you're right, though, that it was meant as a point. I took the measuring as the exuberance of love, a kind of hyperbole maybe, but maybe it was just an error.
