It's not wrong. And the Fermilab video doesn't really dispute it.

Planck's constant measures action, Hz per Joule of energy. Hz is really just a measure of oscillation, or change. It doesn't directly translate to framerate, but it gives us a ballpark figure in orders of magnitude. We don't have anything near 10^34 Hz en-silico, and even if we built a biological/chemical computer, that would be on the par of Avogadro's number, 10^23. So, just because we build a system that can _evolve_ to be intelligent, or hold intelligence within it, doesn't mean we have any ability to actually see it through to that.
