So how is having "Steem Dollars" supposed to result in having actual US Dollars?

I describe this in my video. There are two mechanisms (for now) by which this happens: sell the SD contract directly, or execute it and sell the Steem it represents. Either way, you end up with about a dollar worth of asset which you can sell for federal reserve notes on a crypto-to-fiat exchange.
