I think Scott’s purposes here are pedagogical...he is purposely raising issues to be thought-provoking, even if some of the arguments are in the end fallacious. I think most of the points he brings up in that lecture (and others) can be resolved cleanly with some thought, but actually putting the thought in is useful.
