Life's so much easier when you can just caricature the people you disagree with, innit?

To back up stvltvs, the OP did more or less just use the one-liner as a zinger. "Protects but doesn't bind X, binds but doesn't protect Y" is the caricature, really. I'm sure you can find more floating examples on HN of it because it is a very lazy, midwit flex that signals the in-group the person spends too much time on the internet.

FWIW I don't agree with Wilhoit, just explaining where the idea came from.
