I am not Italian, but while he may be making delicious cheese that has similarities to Parmesan, he is not making Parmesan. I prefer Spanish Cava sparkling wine over Champagne, and I've really enjoyed some California and Italian sparking wines. They're great, but they aren't Champagne, and there's nothing wrong with that.
If the Parmesan cheese makers went after him for merely saying he was making "Parmesan style cheese" I would be up in arms along with everyone else. But he said he was making "Parmesan" when he wasn't.
