I could accept a "I notice a slight difference". That is NOT what he claimed.

By this standard a passenger should destroy the car's handling completely and you should fly off the road at every turn.
It is 10 pounds difference and set back behind the wheel. It is not making the car sink like a stone or make left turns wide and you know it. I doubt you could measure the impact that 10 pounds had with anything less than NASA grade equipment.
