Well, I watch "Americas Test Kitchen" on PBS every weekend. Believe it or not, one time after salting a dish by holding their hand > 1 foot in the air above it they mentioned that they didn't do that just to look pretentious. They actually ran a test and found that holding your hand higher actually improved the distribution of the salt. So, ... There's scientific backup for what this guy is doing.

No; there's scientific backup/a decent reason to sprinkle salt from a foot or so above the food. There is no scientific back for "what this guy is doing." [He's foreign, so I make some allowance for that.]

"Slapping, stroking, and dancing with meat..."
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
It starts with Slapping, Stroking, and Dancing.
There will obviously be women who find him sexy.
They will want to be his piece of meat.
Treat me like your steaks.

I'm afraid some of the salt grains are hitting the forearm and bouncing onto the food. Not sanitary!
Yes but, his forearm is preserved. Salt is the wonderful part of the world.
There is no such thing as bad salting. All salt is good. And add Iodine for good health.
Lick the nearest forearm.
Now tell me that isn't good!
"Gotta lick myself
I'm so salty."
"Me so salty"

Unsanitary forearms, super-sanitary fingers/fingertips. Yup.

The forearm technique distributes the salt more evenly, sanitation be damned.

Yeah, think of all the germs growing on that salt...
C'mon, Ann.
Not sanitary! sounds like you're channeling the germophobe Donald Trump.
Thomas Keller demonstrates the elevated salting technique here (sans forearm but with non-sanitary band-aid on finger). A great chicken recipe, btw.
