That the kid's kid got more of the dad's seed in the "shifting lottery."

It's not like he's saying a kid that looks like the mother isn't getting any contribution from the father.

And while he's technically wrong in the idea that there's a disproportionate overall contribution from each parent, it is true that genes and traits responsible for physical appearance can be disproportionately passed on.
