There is a reason he said "boosted" - all he is describing are the benefits of speed glue or many boosters - more spin and less sensitivity to incoming spin. And the claim about rubbers being good closer to or faster from the table or being more or less spin sensitive is no different from saying that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.  It's just practical unscientific terminology for describing scientifically observable things. If the claims are actually wrong, fine, but arrogance displayed by the dismissal of common sense because it is unscientific is best when science has good answers that are well known, not just some ideas that have been researched in labs, but are not commonly used and taught.

Whether someone prefers a rubber with higher topsheet grip (which is the primary driver of spin sensitivity in service return) depends on a number of things, but there is no right answer without those things.
