He stated that "any invalid blocks they produce" will be orphaned. This is not false. If non-upgraded miners do not produce blocks that are invalid per the new rules, their blocks will not be orphaned. This is consistent with Peter's comment.

False. With bip9-based soft-fork-based activation of segwit, miner blocks will not be orphaned unless they are intentionally segwit-invalid (which they currently are not). If you have told miners otherwise, let me know.
