I think his counterpoint with the weather/meteorology undermines his whole argument and gives the determinism side much more weight. Just because you're modeling something probabilistically doesn't mean that its outcome is truly uncertain. It's merely a means of managing complexity for beings that don't have the processing power to deal with the raw data.
