He was annoyed by that and couldn't objectively listen to the snake oil devices any longer.

The incident you're referring to is stated in the article to have taken place 7 or 8 years earlier. Dudley was raising the possibility that something similar was in play in this case, that his system might not be optimal for this type of product.
