It is a trap in the sense, that nothing he discusses is convincing me that it is any more than a simple application of a general theorem. ( See my example above, obviously we learn nothing about physics, we just shift the missing information from 'theory' to 'initial conditions.') So assuming a discreet space may be fruitful, but by itself is not a step forward.
