I didn't draw that conclusion at all. It didn't sound like he was advocating healthy discussion. He came off to me as being brand new to a team and insisting on his way, while not being open to any explanations of why that either wasn't a priority or wasn't viable at the moment.
Walking into a team as a new member and immediately insisting on sweeping changes is never a good idea.
