My interpretation is that he's saying false positives are unlikely but false negatives are common. If that's the case, then getting a positive result should greatly affect your beliefs; but a negative replication shouldn't shift them much.
(I can't actually justify this interpretation by reading the text, but it does make the text seem fairly reasonable.)
