This shouldn't leave anyone with the impression they are cranks. Scott's claim in this lecture is he hasn't yet found making a counter argument "really nontrivial"
To wit, the article names Leonid Levin and Oded Goldreich as the primary skeptics.
Leonid has 10K citations, 2012 Knuth Prize, 37 h-index.
Oded has 63K citations, 2017 Knuth Prize, 95 h-index.
What Scott Aaronson considers "really nontrivial" is far beyond our comprehension, and he's making a claim about synthesizing an counterargument, not settling the entire argument.
