I definitely agree with him about the fact that the SRB design is not intended to propel a large mass mounted at the top of the stack. Dynamic stresses will be much higher due to the fact that the SRB isn't attached to the ET at two points. I foresee epic failure ahead.
They should have considered the alternative plan created by the NASA guys who were working in their spare time. It eliminated a lot of the potential problems, had a much higher lift potential, and was a proven system.
