Go to his website and read what he says about them if you already haven't.

Some agree and some don't. I fall into the faithful.
I have read Chris's bit on integrated headsets and while in the long, long term he might have a case, I have yet to see a single thread in this forum about a frame ruined because of a loose integrated headset so I don't think there's a whole lot to worry about. Even if the frame did become damaged, it's not too much work to machine the bearing surfaces down to fit properly again. If you can face a bottom bracket, you can face a head tube.
