That's all very well, and those who consider him their posek should 
presumably listen to him.  The rest of klal yisroel do not consider him 
their posek, and therefore need not accept his opinion.  His opinion on 
this subject is not unfounded, but it contradicts an explicit Zohar and 
is very much a minority opinion.

You are not mistaken, they do indeed contradict his opinion.  Neither 
COLlive nor its readership, nor the rabbonim involved in producing this 
video, agree with his opinion, and they are under no obligation to do 
so.  The poskim they follow, who were far greater than him, starting 
with the Zohar and going right through to the LR, held otherwise.
