> No known observation and no known measurement contradicts these 9 lines, not even in the last significant digit.

Surely this is technically incorrect; there are countless observations that disagree with these 9 lines. We just suspect they are caused by measurement or operator error. There is evidence of all sorts of impossible things if you stick to just what is recorded. There can't be that many machines capable of measuring the extreme least-significant digit of these constants.




Many of the "27 numbers" have fairly wide (relative) error bars as well. We literally do not have exact values for several of these.

That's not his point though. Obviously those are not included in the observations that matter.

Same way "there can't be any evidence of a perpetual motion machine" is not refuted by people coming up with their "evidence".


His point is technically incorrect. He can't exclude all the contradicting observations then conclude that all the observations agree. That is a tautology by construction. And it is also unscientific, the physical constants don't have hard boundaries. Each significant digit gets fuzzier the until we just can't guess what the next one is. There are going to be measurements that disagree about the least significant digit.

We can't even be that confident they are constants. We've only had good measurements of them for a few centuries. He's right that proving that would be a big deal, but it isn't true to say that there are no inconsistent measurements.
