You're right, but his has a more memorable take-home: "We're trying to make our life into a fairy tale."
For convincing reason X, we create drama and problems for ourselves unnecessarily. We shouldn't do that. It's silly and childish. The truthfulness of reason X is irrelevant for the truthfulness of his primary point. I smile at his disingenuousness, and take home his message. I don't think he's actually trying to fool anyone - it's just a way of making a point.
Personally, I like demanding tasks, because then people on the team have less time for politics. United against a common enemy/for a common purpose and all that.
