But thats my point, it says nothing about transport layer protocols. I'm just trying to understand Dave Hart's statement
As it says nothing about them, it means that all transport protocols get the same resilience, other things being equal (UDP opens the possibility of multicast).
which appears to claim the UDP over WiFi is guaranteed which I've never seen stated before.
In a network with a WiFi element, the WiFi element is the most likely one to lose packets and force retransmissions, and therefore cause NTP packets to arrive with large delays. To a large extent it does guarantee delivery compared with what would happen if it didn't retransmit.
