I agree homework isn't hugely beneficial for grades 1-6, but after that its value goes up alot.

Without studying in high school/university I would not have done nearly as well as I did.

Also... one sign that he may not be very reliable is that he doesn't cite any specific studies during the interview. He always says "research" proves something, but never cites a specific study (that I noticed...). A scientist would say "study x" concluded this or that even in an interview.
