The ony assumption I'm making is that he hasn't been presented with an argument that "he" doesn't think should change his mind.
You and I would probably find it reasonable

Anyway it's a game with dollies, think I'll go back to playing them.

The rules state (on the most current draft I have- March 3rd) that a road cannot terminate or begin on a waterway BUT "can end prematurely by joining another road." It never says anywhere in the rules that that second road must begin or end on a different base edge, ergo: two roads, both beginning on the same edge, joins the other, thereby satisfying all requirements by the rules...

My reading of the rules may be incomplete and/or incorrect

Its incorrect. You have to make the first road legal. It needs to exit the board by another edge. You seem to think that terrain is placed simultaneously.
