The charitable interpretation of his argument is that the outcome is only a statistical 'tie' if you accept the arbitrary significance threshold of p=5%. Even relatively weak evidence is still evidence.

Unfortunately, some of the examples which he claims don't pass this significance threshold actually do. This does not help his credibility.
