It's an entirely nonsense argument. Akin to arguing that algebra is nondeterministic with "zero divided by zero is a random number, because any number times zero is zero".

In the case of classical physics, we come to a singularity in which there are several solutions for how the system resolves. This doesn't make classical physics nondeterministic, this simply means if you come to such a solution, then classical physics have no answer for what happens next.
