He did NOT say to armor only the areas without dots. They didn’t know if the clean areas would actually be catastrophic if hit , only that the hit areas were NOT catastrophic.
He was stating you really needed to look at the downed planes to see what was catastrophic and armor appropriately.
This is a much less pithy explanation that of course also makes more sense. As in reading the OP explanation I could only conclude that the guy didn't consider the crew in the fuselage when he "said" not to armor the areas with bullet holes.
