He's right Upwards Arrow

A black body at room temperature (300 K) with one square meter of surface area will emit a photon in the visible range (390–750 nm) at an average rate of one photon every 41 seconds, meaning that for most practical purposes, such a black body does not emit in the visible range. Taking that to the absurd, the maximum temperature of an object that gives off no visible light, ever, not a single photon in the lifetime of the universe, is absolute zero.
