Do I detect a hint of sarcasm there?

I do like Ken Hon's comment about exactly this point:
"Lava diversion is a tricky thing to do, especially on flat ground,” he said. “It really comes down to a volume problem. What we’re seeing now is — take 10 of the biggest dump trucks you can think of, we’re getting that many dump trucks of lava every second delivered by this lava flow. So if you think you can pile up stuff in front of it faster than it can delivery [sic] stuff, you’re probably wrong."
