I'm not about to put my money where my mouth is on that one
Sounds like someone's beliefs aren't paying rent.
Or maybe it's a matter of existential risk? If there's a 1/10 chance of him being horribly wrong, then I don't particularly blame him for not testing it. I might believe <insert explosive tidbit here> quite thoroughly, but not want to test it when the explosive is directly in front of me.
I'd happily test it from behind a blast wall, though.
