When they go down in a game because they misguess spades after you don't make a t/o X, you have won a big pot. I think that was his point.

yes, actually not only the sp trump part, they also may misguess a two way finesse of CQ or misguess the situation of DKJ finesse. Bidding is a double edge sword, when you bid something, you usually disclose some information. So whenyou believe this hand probably belongs to opps and it's hard to kill their 2 level suit contracts by spades, passing is a logical choice. This is like the argument that sometimes it's wise to pass with 6 hearts and singleton spades, because you hearts often can't kill 4S and 2H might sell partner's SQxx. Still, I believe it's just a swing generating thinking. Normally, you still want to open 2H and still want to double 1S, because you really don't want to miss the chance to create problems for you opps.
