He is wrong. Read where it say’s that you need a 2019 or earlier Mac to connect to the older supported iMac.


“You can connect any of these older iMac models to another Mac from 2019 or earlier for use as an external display”


Sorry but the new 2020 Mac Mini will not be able to use a supported iMac and you will need to get an external display.
