He understand perfectly well the mechanisms, what he does not accept is that such complex mechanisms could have evolved. These are two entirely different issues which you seem intent in not only confusing, but of making an issue of. He has made no mistake and simply gave a subjective perspective. He has no problem with the science, with its understanding, its application or anything else related to it, what he has stated is simply that its his personal belief that such a system could not have arisen by evolutionary mechanism and no references to lung fish, sturgeons or speculative conjecture of what may have occurred at some unspecified epoch in the alleged evolution of fish can change that fact.
He says the blood-brain barrier couldn't have evolved. But the truth is that we can do what we always do when we wish to understand how structures could have evolved; we do comparative anatomy with species that only feature some aspects of BBB, and note how they differ, so he's literally saying: "I don't understand it, therefore god". Unless, of course, he's ...[text shortened]... and when we can't immediately explain something, simply proclaim: "we don't understand it, yet".
He does not buy your hypothesis, do you understand? That does not mean that he has made a mistake as you have assumed, it does not mean that he does not understand it (despite your propaganda) for I am quite sure that as an research pharmacist he must have studied evolution at school and/or university, it does not mean that he is any less well trained or educated than you alledge (without the slightest evidence) what it means is that he does not accept your premise. He is a scientist after all, interested in empiricism, not in some far flung materialistic fantasy masquerading as science.
Newton is the ultimate, ant-trinitarian, theist, a man who devoted his life to the pursuit of truth and in revealing the creator's handiwork by examining the physical universe. Legend! Peace be upon him.
