No, but I guess it depends on what he means by "unsophisticated". You might say
casual programmers (competent, but not expert) should be able to use threads. 
(I still hesitate to make that claim, knowing fully how dangerous threads can
be.)
His real objection is that several leading industry experts (including people at
Sun) didn't really understand Java's memory model either. I agree that's a
problem.
