Seems the problem, Glenn, is on your end, not his.

1. He claims something is meant in jest.
2. You don't "see the humor."
3. You therefore treat it as a solid (erroneous) argument.
4. That does not make sense to me.

Maybe Johnson's humor IS "strained" in this case.
So what?
As long as HE claims it is in jest, how can you insist he means it
otherwise?
