Maybe he found Matthew 6:7 in the bible.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. (Matthew 6:7 KJV)

So you’ve only prayed the Lord’s Prayer once in your lifetime?

The Rosary is not vain repetition. In particular, when one prays the Rosary, they are supposed to be meditating (deep thinking about) a certain set of events from the life of Christ and/or of Mary, depending on the day. (E.g. the annunciation,
the presentation of Christ in the Temple at 8 days old, etc.)
