The inbuilt mechanism comes from having empirical evidence supporting the theory. Any theory that is supported by empirical evidence means that anyone in the world can verify your theory if that evidence is objective, observable and based on experiments that are repeatable. Through this process, a theory can be corrected.
Sorry, I thought he was referring to some natural phenomenon having some kind of designed inbuilt mechanism of self correction.
If he's disputing that science is self correcting then he really does not understand what the scientific method is and really is quite ignorant.
