Uncalibrated I imagine.

He meant that you perpetuate an untruth - (or an urban myth:) to make
himself feel better.

An RGB calibrated monitor can display around 60% of the colours that the
human eye sees, and around 95-96% of the CMYK colours which can seen within
an RGB colourspace. This is how and why CMYK editing works on a calibrated
RGB display.
