i think his point isnt so much about structural integrity as it is with volume and required effort to get that structrual integrity a pyriamid is a huge srtucture with tiny tiny passages that are of use to almost no one, which took massive amounts of work and time to accomplish whereas a cathedral constructed mostly of arches made of less than 100th or a 1000th of the material could scale to the size of a pyramid yet internally be mostly air taken further, a geodisic dome could scale even further and easily encolse both, with even less materials so what he is saying is, architecture matters in relation to effort, scalability and also structural integrity
