When A Check Is Better Than A Capture - Checks Then Capture vs Capture Then Check

To expand on the point at 1:42, beyond the pawn at e6 protecting his f5 pawn, the rook at f8 and the bishop at c8 are also defenders of that pawn. So he actually really could have blocked the imminent mate with the f5 move. You see it because the computer gives no advantage to me anymore if he played that.
