He's not saying to judge violations by A/D. He's saying that just like when judging a foul you sometimes have to wait to see if the contact you observed is actually a foul, in this case you sometimes need to wait to see if the batting or pushing of the ball to the floor turns out to actually be a dribble. He's using a comparison to make a point.
