Like many on this forum he's taking one tiny little fact and going way too far with it. The tensile strength of a strand of windshield glass is 5x stronger than steel. Unfortunately that has nothing at all to do with objects penetrating windshields like when Bambi is hurled at the glass at 75mph.
Old story: Aircraft canopies are tested for bird strikes by firing dead chickens at them. The USAF was having trouble with canopies routinely shattering and couldn't figure out what was wrong so they contacted the RAF and asked them for help.
The answer that came back was "defrost the chickens".
