All he did was to say that empty space had a repulsive force. That's exactly what the cosmological constant is. He just ramped it up.

That's not very hard to do. I think you're vastly overstating what he claimed, and how accurate it really was. And very much how easy it is to make random claims, some of which will happen to be true.
