Edit: removed my opinion of Scott from the body

Scott is posting some nuclear-grade copium here.

Edit: For a pretty good explanation of why I think so, see e.g. TheGodfatherBaritone's comment in the linked thread.

Maybe, but if you're not going to explain why you think so, then just saying so is objectionably low effort. Please don't do this.

OK, noted.
