querySelector works but querySelectorAll doesnt...Why?

So at the end of the video Gil does this thing where he changes the ul elements using the querySelector on the ul element I figured the same thing would work if I used the querySelectorAll but it didnt change anything live does anyone have an idea why? is it bc Node lists arent live?

Dohr,

querySelectorAll does in fact return a NodeList that is NOT live, hence why it wouldn't update live. However, it's important to note that some NodeLists are live! Take a look at this article about live/static NodeLists for some more information!
