Yes I think so. He doesn't seem to know anything about this subject.
I know there are things called 'frequency combs' but these actually beat
together two  wavelengths not frequencies.

Quite cute. I can't wait to see where *this* is going.

This NG is so filled with ignorant speudo-scientists that someone who
actually talks science is immediately regarded as a troll.

Young Tom's counting method merely registers the rate of arrival of
waves. It does not count an intrinsic frequency because light does not
appear to have one...although it has been suggested that the E and B
fields might keep self-reinforcing and oscillating IN THE FRAME OF THE
LIGHT ITSELF.
However there is nothing in Maxwell's equations that suggest this is
true. In fact the E field generated by the induced B field opposes the
applied E field... and so any such oscillation should die off very
quickly.

The likely situation is that the E field moves at c away from the source
as a frozen sine wave and the induced B field, even though non divergent,
does the same. A whole 'photon' might be likened to a length of ball
chain that initially moves at c relative to its source according to
Faraday's laws. Of course each 'ball' expands laterally as it goes but
retains a constant thickness, which defines the light's wavelength.

(I don't expect you to understand any of that.)
