Syncopation-- A shift of accent in a passage or composition that occurs when a normally weak beat is stressed. So if you count it in 5/4, the accents are 1--5--4--3--2.. and when all the notes hit, they are Accented.. So, maybe part of his theory isn't right.. but technically, he is right.. Im not sure of how the 6/8 would be a syncopation tho?? WELL.. according to American Heritage Dictionary..
