No, not really. You can tell by his "95% confidence" quip where he tries to make his opinion sound scientific.

I hope this works, but there's more reason to be skeptical than positive. There have been an awful lot of replication failures.

Wait until it's reproduced somewhere outside of a simulation or China. People are working on it, because if one in a hundred of these seemingly bogus claims turns out to be true, the 99 wasted efforts will still have been worth it.
