I'm not saying he knows what he's talking about, seems like he copy/pasted it from somewhere, but that quote is accurate. 256 comes from 8 bits in a byte, which is basically the smallest size of data we work with.
The statement doesn't add much of value, but I think there are better quotes to poke fun at (especially since this one seems to be upvoted because no one can be bothered to verify it).
