He is referring to the fact that I view Schlissel chalah as a (relatively) new innovation since there is no old mention of it. Taamei Minhagim s a very recent source and while there are some slightly older mentions of schlissel chalah there are none more than about 300 years old despite the vast number of texts we have that predate that.

He is troubled by my skepticism.

there is a thread or 2 about that.
