He's not saying anything didn't happen, just that our speculations about differing ideas about what happened should give more weight to the simpler explanations. He also seems to imply that simpler should be defined with some sort of complexity measure that borders on information content in the description. Yet no measure of complexity is given.

I know hes not making the claim, but the article itself is based around the hypothetical negative claim.
