I like it, he points out that nitrogen does have slight advantages, but that those are trivial.

So air does indeed seep out slightly faster than pure nitrogen. That must be the oxygen in the air, the nitrogen stays behind.
If you crave the advantages of nitrogen over air, small as they may be, you'll get those anyway over time as the oxygen vanishes faster than the nitrogen does.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
