Nothing really surprising in this presentation. In our previous dialogue, I've said Barsoum already discredited Davidovits science. And so does this one. Kaolin Clay is not the glue. Also, without using Aluminum-based glues like Kaolin Clay, we can definitively rule out geopolymers.

So either the rock is natural (99% chance), or a different formula is needed (1% chance). (These numbers are illustrative, they don't matter). The burden of proof is always with the theorist, so there is no need to waste our time crossing off all other possibilities. However, not having looked at asbestos-based cements, I personally have this this nagging reservation not to cross those off the list of possibilities.
