I haven't seen any reference citing any authority, just supposition.
There are various grades of glass that are stronger than others, and tempering can help that some.
I've never seen *anything* stating that it's screen is made of quartz or sapphire, two common choices for scratch-free transparent surfaces.
I don't find "optical glass" significantly scratch resistant, just more so than any form of plastic I've seen used in lenses.
But the guy is still nuts. The screen is very resistant to scratching, but there's *nothing* in Apple's warranty or description inferring that the screen won't scratch.
I just put a bodyguardz wrap on my 'Phone, and hated to cover the display. The bare display is *gorgeous*.
