More like 20 minutes.

The whole point he was making is that regardless of what you do, the vapour is gonna get you. It's a hazard of working with onions. And for what its worth, I've never found a refrigerated or partially frozen onion to do much in the way of killing the vapours off, though it may help a bit.

Although now that I think about it, freezing an onion might not be the best way to keep it flavourful. Burst cell walls, blah blah blah.
