He probably thinks they are "inadamant objects."

I'm really more amused than anything else by Don's laserbeam focus on
the "Evil Empire" (aka, Boston Public Library), but here's a thought:

Had the focus of Don's ire been one of the libraries destroyed in the
WTC, rather than the BPL, would he now be accusing the people there of
masterminding the attack themselves for the sole purpose of denying
him access?

He'd probably be camped in the rubble right now, demanding to see the
collections, and sending emails in all directions accusing the staff
of high crimes and misdemeanors.

Don's a real piece of work, all right.
