He may be referencing the article in the recent issue of "Handgunner" magazine concerning stopping power where they show .22(short, long or LR) had a one shot percentage of 60%. Of course they could just be makin' it up too.
That means out of 10 assailants, 6 "stopped", 4 did not...not my definition of "astounding". Furthermore, he did not define what "stopping power" in the case of .22 rim-fire meant. Did it mean that they were incapacitated or just that the left the scene after being shot, which would imply that the .22's "stopping power", was due more to psychological effect (Oh my God!!! I've been shot!), than in actual ballistic performance (Uhhhh, thud.)...just ask'en.
