Not sure about Pompeii, but Herculaneum had the villa of Piso with tons of scrolls from Philodemus, who totally fleshed out the ideas of Epicurus, upon whose atomism all of modern science is based.
It is difficult to comprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a statement.
Modern science makes no reference to Epicurean atomism, other than in the historical choice of the word "atom" to refer to something that Epicurus wasn't talking about.
My comment was meant to express alarm that anyone could say there was no lost library buried by Vesuvius.
