The point is simply that the NFHS doesn't want the player to return to the game without permission from an appropriate health care professional.

That is what the NFHS wrote in its rules book back in 2006-07.

How the official goes about enforcing that is a gray area, but there is no question that doing so is proper, which is what both of you stated was wrong.

Of course, I'm not going to go diagnose such as I'm not qualified for that and so recognize that this directive is problematic for game officials.

However, if I am informed that a player sustained a concussion at some point during the game, then it is my duty to ensure that the appropriate permission is obtained before permitting that person to return to action.

The person who posted that sentiment is 100% correct and the two of you told him otherwise.
