If you get beyond the repeated references to absolutes (don't do this ever, always, always do this other thing) I still think the talk achieves the goal of defining scrum clearly. But I wouldn't follow the advises blindly. It is absolutes which in the end pulls us back. Agile is about doing what makes sense, not about doing scrum.
Great talk

James should focus less on loud commands and more on real use-cases and empirical evidence.
Less blatant drilling, more skeptic persuasion.
