In general, I agree with his conclusions, especially with respect to the number of errors in a match and the percentage of points one needs to win (over time).
However, the conclusions on coming to the net may be erroneous.
These days it seems that players come to the net only when the situation seems to be clearly advantageous (e.g. the sneak). As such, most players should have the edge in net points. On the other hand, if one serves-and-volleys almost exclusively (or just likes to come in rather than sit on the baseline), the net point percentage will fall as one would be coming in in less favorable situations.
Otherwise, since winning 55% of points would equal near-GOAT status over a career, one would have to conclude that coming to the net (where >60% of points are won) would lead to automatic greatness.
