What he's saying is that if it does have an effect for you, then your BBB isn't up to standard. The other reasons that you mention are plausible, but he doesn't address them.

I don't have a reason to use it myself. If I do need more inhibitory neurotransmission, I would want D2-, D3-, and/or D4-dopaminergic agonism. Speaking of which, it is interesting to note that the pleasing effects of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) are inhibitory, or in other words, the VTA dopaminergic neurons inhibit the shell of the NAc to produce its rewarding effects.
