What I'm hearing is an angry, ex-drunk getting on his high-horse and engaging in verbal gymnastics in a poorly thought out attempt to make a point. IMO, it's pure b*llshit. For anyone scratching their heads and wondering why AA sometimes gets a bad rap, it's because of this kind of pseudo-psycho babble that is often spouted by people who are not medical professionals, who do not have any training in a psychological field and are not addiction treatment specialists.
Telling the hard truth is fine; insulting and belittling people (many of whom are in a precarious mental state) is not.
