No. He is saying (as others, including myself, have said, and you have repeatedly ignored):
EVEN if there is no such thing as Hawking radiation, a black hole produced by LHC will still be
completely harmless.
Because it will be of such an insignificantly small size that it won't be able to gobble up a piece of lint off a particle physicist's jacket, much less * the entire Earth *.
This is based on the results of doing the math on how much energy LHC can produce, and the resulting infinitesimal size and corresponding weak gravity of the black hole.
You are, as usual, intentionally missing the point of what people are saying.
Yes, Hawking radiation would be a bonus - it would mean that the infinitesimal black hole that's incapable of swallowing anything would ALSO wink out of existence immediately.
If it didn't because Hawking radiation doesn't exist, it still does not matter one iota.
Bring on the teeny black holes. I'd love to see them.
