That's a stupid argument, however, because many do. The purpose of the list is to inform the public about sex offenders in their area, and at that task, for the offenders who do register, the list is a success.
As for offenders who fail to register, their conduct violates the law and they can be imprisoned for that conduct. What more could you want? 200 lashes for a rape victim?

I was hoping he was arguing that the registry does not distinguish between types of sex offenders. Such as an 18 yr old who had "consensual sex" with a 16 yr old and was convicted of statutory rape versus an adult who molested a 5 year old.
But he's probably arguing what you say he is. That inaccuracy would make me wonder why he thinks the existence of an offender registry would be indicative of anything, in the first place.
