I take that as "I really have no clue so I bought an expensive camera".
Really it is admirable that this person feels they can get it right in the camera all the time, but it really means they are leaving a lot on the table.
I have a friend who sells prints at the local markets. She is fairly good and sells enough that she has been at the market for years. But she is strictly old school. Has signs up "no digital work done on any of my photos, all are direct from the film". The truth is she learned film photography years and years ago and is terrified to learn anything new. I chat with her regularly and I am positive if she went digital she would greatly improve her work but she knows what she knows and isn't going to learn any more.
Not everyone has the computer skills to do good post processing and if you don't and have to get it right in camera all the time then that's fine. I would not take her statement as an insult but rather a defensive statement because of her own insecurity. Instead of being insulted I would feel sorry for her.
