Unless he gives a good reason why he has not demonstrated his claim (eg. "This effect only presents at a scale beyond my resource"), the thesis seems severely weakened by the lack of effort to prove it in a toy version. He just says he doesn't want to spend any more time on it, which is unlikely to convince or motivate anybody else that he has discovered something important.
