A non-local frame means a global frame, and a globally inertial frame cannot exist in a non-Minkowski spacetime. That is, there are no non-local inertial frames in general relativity.
The statement would be true if you said "not locally inertial" but this has a very different meaning to "non-local inertial frame".

Chuck asked you a question, would you care to answer it?
I think the answer is quite important because you seem to be making a "heads I win, tails you lose" kind of argument: It seems that if it turns out that a string theory is a good description of nature you'll jump up and down shouting that the quran predicted it; whereas if it is discredited, you'll claim that you just misinterpreted or start denying that you ever made the claim.
