He's actually not; he's arguing that if you installed a client software that does the msat <> sat conversion wrong (e.g. by a factor of 1000), and opened a channel with the same person who gave you this wallet software, the amount of sats shown in GUI would be different (higher) than what will later be settled on-chain when closing the channel.
Which I find really far-fetched as attackers could just steal the seed or do other attacks if they can get you to trust your keys to their software.

Thats so much more stupidly convoluted it was hard for me to tease of of his rantings...  Ah well.  I have returned to the peace of ignoring him. lol.
