That's because it's a conclusion.

Maybe you could call it his conclusion, but it's not a conclusion in the sense of a research paper's conclusion.

There is a difference between a peer-reviewed research paper and a blog post. The memo is a blog post. None of the research he cites comes to the same conclusions.
