Because as far as I could tell, that wasn't what he was saying. Instead, he was implying that no matter the small "microevolution" (read: evolution) changes that occur, they would never be sufficient to evolve a reptile into a bird, which is what the current science indicates.
I'm more willing to be charitable with my interpretations when the underlying point is nothing more than an assertion which requires justification, but received none. The guy doesn't have a leg to stand on in the best of cases, I don't need to give him an out by potentially misinterpreting what he's saying so he can dodge by harping on that point instead of addressing the actual issue.
