I believer he's basically right. The cores split up tasks and of you watch the CPU usage you'll see that one core may be highly active while another sits in waiting or handling less demanding tasks. However when the demand is high for CPU intensive tasks, they will divide and conquer. This means that the overall performance can sometimes be considerably less than twice the performance of a single core processor at the same clock speed, and at other times it can exceed twice the performance.
Looking at it now...seems very interesting. I'm not pleased with the results my RAZR came up with on it, since it seems to score high on every other benchmark, but we'll see.
