He chose poor examples that didn't help his point at all (from my opinion).

I didn't get his point, other than - copy the first landing, you have the manual - and that seems like he misses the point. Maybe I got that impression because all the counter arguments he reasoned were made from the apollo lens, but in the end I didn't hear any solid argument from him, only a "teaching moment" from somebody that doesn't understand the context.

What was really impactful for me was when he showed the comparison of the Apollo mission plan image / diagram and compared it with the current one. He didn't even say much he just silently let the audience look at the two side by side, and it scene speaks for itself.

I also think the fact that no one could answer how many refuelings were needed or planned for the mission warrants attention, as mentioned by other commenters.
