Well generally you do put an insulator there brian - air. He's talking about the gap around the TEC between waterblock and coldplate which is generally left empty.
I'm not sure if air is better or worse than a layer of neoprene off the top of my head though. I suspect the comparison is not clear-cut anyway due to the different states of the two materials.
