why is this person a zen buddhist if he doesnt even think that eliminateing the defilements is possible?
He is knocking down the ideas of pie-in-the-sky perfection. It is clear that he does see that defilments can be eliminated, but is indicting the sort of black/white-thinking ideas of perfection that tend to attach to the notion of ending the defilements.

hes being hippocritical, ...criticising hippopotami...?

he doesnt know for certain that a buddha is imperfect, but he says a buddha cant be perfect He said himself that he was probing statements that seem to contradict each other.

once again more non believers believing things. I am not convinced that he is into "believing". Nor am I convinced that being a "Buddhist" is about "believing".
