He lost me by basically claiming with the nuclear chain reaction example that, "If A is possible, anything unknown is possible." The statement in itself is nonsense.
By stating that something unknown is possible is simply stating that if it is not proven impossible, it is possible. Having a faulty proof of the impossibility of assertion A just means they needed better science.
