That would be his argument, agreed. But it fits very neatly with his thesis

ignore all the problems we have at the moment, and instead just accuse all the critics of having unrealistic expectations.

It's what he does over and over again. As I tried to draw out of him on Twitter - will he continue to say this if we do go down? (ie, that people who think we could have avoided it are basically unrealistic). He wasn't completely clear, but I think his answer will be yes.
