I was not saying anything about the analysis being correct or incorrect, because
I was saying that it appears to be his opinion that the game is lost after the
rook sacrifice. This is obvious given his comments:

"difficult to fathom"
"the best he can achieve following his Rook sacrifice"

I AM sure that he looked at the critical lines. Yasser is a pro.
