Hmmm. Let's hope this eccentric (to say the least) guy can deliver anything other than hot air. Cause he sure likes to throw his money away:
"He has used some of his millions to found the National Institute for Discovery Science as a means to bring proper funding and serious scientific research to bear on the study of paranormal phenomena."

Throwing millions away on "UFO and animal mutilation" research isn't a waste? NIDS isn't a research institution, it's a collection of UFO-nuts with a shitty web site.

Perhaps you are thinking of NADS a product that's likely near and dear to you from DOWN UNDER!

Nads

The war against female body hair gets a new weapon from Australia in Nad's—a product that "looks like green taffy."

No Wax! No Ectoplasm! This infomercial never lets the viewer forget that its gooey hair removal product comes from "Down Under." Australia gets touted as some sort of exotic locale, "nature's paradise" "where this amazing climate makes natural and organic living a delight." A goofy picture of a koala bear and the words "Australian Made" and "From Australia" periodically appear on the screen. Yet we are never told why coming from Australia makes Nad's any better. They miss a great opportunity to point out that Australian women desperately need good hair removal because of their great fondness for going to the beach nude.
If you read the section on Bigelow Aerospace you wouldn't sound so ignorantly dismissive.

In what conceivable sense is this true?

In the conceivable sense that at the time it was written the writer had no knowledge of any exceptions to his statement. Please elaborate on your bewilderment.
