This is not novel in any way, but its style and the way you can ask questions can definitely help shape your ideas and steer you towards topics to research further. If you are not overly familiar with these concepts I can see this being helpful and interesting. Personally I tried to tease novel techniques for compression out of it. It got me curious and at least it forced me to learn more about the domain to explain why its ideas were wrong. Maybe that's a thing: it's so confidently (sometimes subtly) incorrect that it may take effort to learn how it's wrong. This itself can be an interesting exercise that wasn't really possible before.
