That's not really his error. What he claims is that the DEFINITION of 
boiling point is that no gaseous water can exist below the boiling point 
at that pressure, which of course is not what boiling point means, nor 
has it ever meant that.

This is why if you suggest that gaseous water exists at room 
temperature, this somehow entails bringing the boiling point to a 
temperature below room temperature.

But then again, he's an idiot not worth any attention.
