That sounds more like moving the goalposts. The claim (via sarcastic comment) was that people do not simply push code that they do not understand - and I provided a counter-example. No-one in that conversation disagrees that that's a bad practice - but until and unless I have full mandate to hire and fire whoever I want to work with, or to change jobs at will, I'm going to have to work with people whose development practices I disagree with.
