The second law is one that will always stand and I'm not going to even bother going into the reasons why. It's like Louis Armstrong said about jazz, "If you've got to ask, you wouldn't understand the answer."

Now I'm even more suspicious about the inviolability of that second law.

While I agree with your assessment of the comment you were referring to, there are deep mathematical reasons why the 2nd Law needs to be correct. The 2nd law has been around forever; the mathematics that suggest it isn't just a random feature came much later.
