The chapter begins with a pretty delightful infelicity, since in 1678 Beethoven's Fifth Symphony was still 130 years away from its premiere. Granted, this is very specialized knowledge available only to professional musicologists like myself and I doubt Beck's publisher can afford my consulting fees.
(I can just imagine the English scientists standing around wondering why this lunatic is inflicting this cacophony on them and looking at them so expectantly.)
Umm, actually he doesn't say that they recognized it, just that they would be amazed that it makes music. That seems pretty plausible to me.
Seems like you got mind-killed pretty hard here.
I think we need something like Wikipedia:Assume_the_assumption_of_good_faith.
