Ignore him he had no clue what he was talking about.
If the chainring is going to hit with proper chainline and a road crank it's going to do it with a track crank too. There is small possibility the tabs on the crank might hit if you put the ring on the outside but it is very unlikely and can be remedied easily by putting the ring on the inside.
The miche system is good for track racing but kinda useless on the road. It also has been known to wear down fast with street riding.
