Is Jesse editing the parent css in the Genesis videos?

I may be mistaken, but I saw Jesse Petersen edit the css of the parent theme. Wouldn't that mess up the child theme, if the developers updated the parent theme? I always thought that whenever you make a change you add it to the child files.

I've never edited the Genesis theme because that would be really, really bad. I am in Agency Pro. Link - which video are you questioning?
