He's not though. Proving that you can write a small game in javascript/html5 does not in any way prove that you can write a complex, feature filled game.
I write games for a living (see http://www.rocksolidarcade.com), and the thought of developing them in html5, with the tools and compatibility we have now makes me sick. Eventually an abstraction layer that's fast and powerful enough will come along, once all the browsers support all the features needed.
But writing an abstraction layer, writing a tiny game in it and declaring that "in 2010, games built in JavaScript can be just as shiny, interactive, and fluid as games built in Flash." is ridiculous.
