It's all bs of course, but it fits together logically. He knows how to construct an argument.
I tend to agree. I think that if you grant the assumptions made the argument goes through - the problem is spotting the hidden assumptions!
I'd say "But the Unmoved Mover, as the source of all change," is an instance. The assumption is that the natural, default state is stasis. But you don't need anything to extra to make the world change. With our crude, unaided senses it can seem that nothing much goes on without an external agent. A glass of water on a table just sits there. But come back in a week and the water will have evaporated away. An 'inert' block of metal is a maeltrom of sub-atomic activity. Nothing is truly static.
Change and motion are the defaults, not stasis. Aristotle belived a steady force was needed to sustain motion because in common eperience if you stop pushing on something it stops. There were no ice rinks in ancient Athens for him to skate on!
