Yes. Make of that what you will in terms of determining the
rationality of his argument.

Going a bit off-topic, here, but perhaps not so much.

Which of LUL shuttered stations is the most likely candidate for
reactivation?

Realistically, probably none.

But York Road would be well patronised if it did reopen. However, much of
that traffic would simply be displaced from King's Cross, so it wouldn't be
new traffic. Hence there's no real business case that could justify the
high costs and longer Picc journey times.

They are redeveloping the area around York Road, however, aren't they?

Yes, that's why it would be well-patronised if it re-opened. There's
now a university close by, with plenty of retail and residential
developments under way. There's even a new square, Granary Square.

Here's some pictures I took in the new Central Saint Martins building
(voted the world's best higher education building in 2012). In one of
them, you can see York Road station, just up the road:
