It seems to stem from the explainer not understanding the comic.  The "Although I'm 99% sure" is not a part of the question that follows, although it is part of the same sentence.  Dashes are used to insert one sentence into another--like this--without changing the original sentence's meaning.

Removed the following sentence from the explanation. Also, Steve says that he is 99% sure that it is "SOH CAH TOA, or COH SAH TOA," he is asking a question that doesn't work, since you can't be 99% sure that it is SOH CAH TOH or COH SAH TOA. It seems to stem from the explainer not understanding the comic. The "Although I'm 99% sure" is not a part of the question that follows, although it is part of the same sentence.
