Not true. His sentence using quotes around his sarcastic use of the word genius is most certainly accurate. Any time you are using a word in a way other than it's traditional form, such as sarcasm, it is completely acceptable and widely practiced to used quotation marks as well as italics. Also, he's not saying that sentences in quotes can't end with a period inside, he's talking about when what your quoting doesn't contain punctuation but happens to fall at the end of the sentence.
