I'm saying the guy can get a little overly excited about things which are hard to measure or quantify.
Let's back this up a little bit. We've got Marvin Minksy who comes along and destroys the perceptron. Then we have decades of knowledge systems that go nowhere. All the while Geoff Hinton is tirelessly working on neural networks. Finally after decades of hard work the fruits of his labor are recognized with ImageNet.
And then a bunch of people in a comment section criticize the guy for getting "a little overly excited" about the stunning range of neural networks that validates his life's work.

Great job, all around!
