I think I can accept that Myrcella wasn't Myrcella, but I don't know if I'm ready to accept that Arys willingly let himself be beheaded by Hotah to let the knowledge of where his charge actually was die so that no one could harm her. But as always, PJ seems to find those quotes from the books that everyone seems to have forgotten about and parts do stand out to me. Why did Arys proclaim himself as a KG, who was known to be protecting Myrcella no less, for all the world to see when he donned that white cloak, when he was on what was a secret mission to avoid detection, when he hadn't been wearing the cloak before as he felt that too many people notice him in it? Where did all those Lannister guards go? What's with the seemingly age difference contradiction for "Myrcella"? Etc.
But thought it was an interesting video so thought I'd share
Your lordship lost a son at the Red Wedding. I lost four upon the Blackwater. And why? Because the Lannisters stole the throne. Go to King’s Landing and look on Tommen with your own eyes, if you doubt me. A blind man could see it. What does Stannis offer you? Vengeance. Vengeance for my sons and yours, for your husbands and your fathers and your brothers. Vengeance for your murdered lord, your murdered king, your butchered princes. Vengeance!

Not bad, fairly convincing. The only issue I have is that there are about a dozen other swaps that may have happened in this story. Having this one come to light so late, after so many other possibilities, sort of makes it less believable.
Perhaps that's simply one of GRRMS's stylistic calling cards though. Like his deus ex machina battles where the battle is always going badly before someone appears to save the day. Perhaps the patterns seemingly repeat themselves too much because that's just how he writes
