This is actual one of the telling parts of his arguement.

The analytical / empirical distinction is part of the philosophy of 
logic, where the base definitions of what is truth get fuzzier.

In Formal Systems, technically ALL truth is Analytic (except for the 
axioms of the system). Sometimes in formal system will talk about things 
being empirical-like if we are asking if there exists or doesn't exist 
an element with a property, and we determine that by examining each 
element to find one, verse working with logic on the property itself.

Thus the list of prime numbers would be sort of an empirical truth.

That he focuses so much on this shows that he doesn't have a formal 
logic background, but a philosophical background (and not that good of 
one at that) which shows in his other problems, like writing proofs.
