If there was a good argument, it should make sense in plain text:

> and you can think of this like the google search that's provided > google search is a centralized search system yet the the actual computation for that search is actually distributed across the entire planet > so uh that provides a perfect analogy for how uh bitcoin and uh litecoin and dogecoin how all of these different coins work they're actually centralized systems providing a centralized service while at the same time having the computation spread out across the entire planet

Totally missing the point that centralization is about who has control, not where things happen. Distributing operation but not control of those operations isn't meaningful here, which is what makes Google search not a good analogy for blockchains. I'm not pro-blockchain (until we find effective use/implementation), but I'm definitely anti-misinformation.
