Methinks his point is that neoprene foam isn't electrical tape.

Nor did Rich prove that the Canon lightseal was electrical tape, it may
well be opaque mylar tape. I doubt either Rich or the guy who opened the
camera did an analysis of the black material.

Rich looked at a photograph of the stuff. It looked like plastic. Hey,
it looked like cheap plastic electrical tape! Everyone knows that on
expensive quality cameras it's absolutely essential to use stuff that
looks expensive.

Canon should have welded 0.25" Tungsten Carbon Steel as the light baffle.
