I can't find anything in those slides which provides a basis for that claim, and the technical issues surrounding such a claim are very complex. I'd be interested to see a video or something of a talk associated with these slides, to see if there's any additional context which the speaker provides to back up this claim. As it stands, this looks like a line the author pickup around the office koolaid-cooler. - Matt
