More Specific MIME Types Seem to Override Less Specific Ones, Contrary to the Video...

I posted a JPEG image to my Home page, and when I clicked on the image, the more specific jpeg.php template ran, NOT the general MIME type image.php template. Why is this so? Is the video incorrect, or has something changed in WordPress since its release? Am I missing something?

Yes sir, it looks like the hierarchy has changed. If anyone wants to see, here's the link used in the tutorial: https://wphierarchy.com/

Just wanted to add that after experimenting, the video seems correct. (The picture was under image.php)
