Cut him some slack, it was clearly a simplification. Also, you're wrong to declare him inaccurate.
Even if 30% of queries are truly unique (a number that people have quoted from years ago, may no longer be true) caching 70% of the queries is a big win. Also, instant search is heavily relying on Google Suggest, which by it's very nature, are queries which have been performed already, so are trivially cacheable.
