A few things to note here, and the absolute, most important caveat he only briefly mentions them at the tail-end of the video- not everyone should be skiing XXX-flex. "150" is not suitable for 90% of skiers. The right guideline for flex is this: everyone should ski the stiffest boot that they can still properly flex. This doesn't mean ski the stiffest boot. It means ski the stiffest boot that you can manage and control. For some people, this might be 150, for others this might be 90. Boot flex should be dictated by your weight, height, ankle ROM, strength, and personal preference and very rarely (read: almost never) by how good of a skier your think you are.
While of course tightening your buckles an extra position makes the boot stiffer and loosening it a position makes it softer, I would be very hesitant to recommend anyone ski a boot unbuckled. A loose fitting cuff is a sure-fire way to get shin bang. Shin bang is caused by many things, but mainly a cuff that doesn't securely hold the leg. If the leg can bounce and rattle around, the shin will too and this, more often than not, leads to problems.
Lastly, if "150" is the flex recommendation, this means you are confined to World Cup boots. And again, for 99% of the skiing population this simply won't work. For us lucky skiers with narrow to medium foot shapes, this is relatively easy with a highly competent boot-fitter. But for anyone with a "Hawx Magna" foot shape, you will be spending your ski days in the hurt locker. So, this is also a question of first making sure you are in the correct boot for your foot, and for the vast majority of skiers it means not being in a 150-flex simply based on the fact that most people aren't candidates for a World Cup boot.
If someone spends quality time with their boot-fitter, having the appropriate flex that is based on your weight, height, strength, ankle ROM etc. will (IMO) allow you to ski a very wide variety of terrain and snow conditions without having to worry too much about it or worry you have the wrong flex for the conditions.
