I think what he is referring to is what Carl used to call "making the unexpected call" on routine plays. IOW, runner is out by three steps, ball is put down and player slides in he's out. But if runner does something different like a hook slide or other superb play, then call it as is.
As far as the OP, I would ignore the advice of the so-called veteran. If its obvious that he's out or safe make the call.
