He clearly stated they didn't exist at all - he denied their existence in my
grandparents' dialect, which I didn't give enough info on for him to
identify.

He said "one can't pronounce rounded low vowels", but we were talking about
whether there was a rounded equivalent of [a].

Well, the only vowel chart I could find in a hurry shows no rounded
couterpart for [æ], but has one for [a], namely the small cap OE ligature.
