I didn't mean the claim that it was possible: the video should document 
that pretty well.  I meant the claim that he invented it, and that the 
name he coined for it is accepted.  Those would need verification, or, 
in its absence, should at most be documented as claims of one person only.

In this particular case I wouldn't put the bar very high, but we're to 
take his claims at face value, we at least ought to be able to point to 
another source and say "Well, at least this other guy agrees with him."
