I saw it in person. It could not. The whole brake was twisted off center so that one caliper arm couldn't reach the rim, and the other - which had been rubbing on the rim - was tied to the seatstay with twine, so it couldn't reach the rim either.
What he's saying is that he didn't MIND that it didn't brake.
