These Aikido threads always end up as nonsensical arguments from the general public making shit up as they go along.
Saying Aikido doesn't work is like saying Jiu Jitsu and Kendo don't work. Both of which are battle tested and are some of the oldest military arts in existence. There may be techniques and approaches that are less useful than others but there's a time and place for anything under the sun. What's considered useful is completely circumstantial.
Roy Dean see's it worth and he actually went out there and decided to know wtf he's talking about.
