I know that's what he -meant- to say - but it's not what he said.  

Furthermore (and it sounds like you agree) the implication he drew from
it is false.  The size of the file is not directly related to the
quality of the sound it produces, which is obvious from the fact that
FLAC and WAV produce identical outputs despite being different sizes,
or from the fact that I could decode a 64kbps MP3 to a full-sized WAV
file.
