I would say that was what he meant. The thing I never really understood was that you can thread a freewheel onto fixed threading so why aren't all flip hubs threaded for a lockring on both sides. It just doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe it's a cost issue. If there is a good reason for this I would love it if someone were to enlighten me.

Also, Is it true that you get a little extra leeway with 1/8" chain. 1/32 of and inch can't be that much can it?
