IMO..He is a complete jerk. Any inquiry can have a negative impact on score, let alone 10. Also, his formula for 750..7-8 CC's, Mort etc., yeah, good start, but what if that person has 2 collections or chargeoffs! There is no guaranteed "FORMULA" for any score and any person who states otherwise is a fool. Each person has tons of individualied information in thier file which generates thier own FICO score under continuous changeing elements. And I have not even thrown the whole "buckets" thing out there!
