I guess, but that seems like a strange interpretation seeing as the speaker says he's no longer "a skeptic" in general.
The point of rationality isn't to better argue against beliefs you consider wrong but to change your existing beliefs to be more correct.
That's a good reminder but I'm not sure how it applies here.
A quote that calls the holder of a potentially wrong belief a "skeptic" rather than a "believer" is more useful since it makes you more likely to identify with him.
