No, but that doesn't mean it's not happening.

What part of

Note how difficult it is to notice that the bike is falling/leaning in either direction, even when you're on the curb, yet how noticeable the turn of the bars/front-wheel is to control each minute fall/lean. This shows how little lean it takes, and explains why it's so hard to notice.
"It takes very slight [counter-steer] pressure on the bar to induce a lean, and very little lean is required to turn a bike, so the video shown isn't convincing evidence"
Do you not understand?
