The professor is old and he’s talking against modern technology. Narrator said he/she thought it was cool, but “too romantic” - unrealistic, fanciful, impractical.

So, in the narrator’s mind, it couldn’t be a controversial lecture, because he/she thought the professor wasn’t being realistic/objective.

That’s my interpretation, anyway.
