That's right, since such nesting is not allowed and the <script> element
actually contains a <style> element.

He's wrong, and should know better. Tell him to learn the HTML syntax.
If needed, the validator FAQ should be consulted. A construct like with
"<" followed by a letter is treated as starting a tag, hence invalid
inside a <script> element. There are various ways to deal with this.
Perhaps the simplest is to use "<" instead of "<".
