"don't"

did I read his "don't" wrong?

You took a very specific comment he made to a specific person with whom he has a long and mutually argumentative history and extrapolated it to some mythical officiating philosophy. Whether it was intentional or not, your argument is a strawman. Specifically, it's a strawman based on a false dichotomy.

Short answer to your final question. Yes.
Long answer to your final question. Yes, because you read too much into it. You need more to go on before determining and judging someone's officiating philosophy.
