No, what I meant to say was that he was misusing the phrase "the exception that proves the rule". It is not intended to mean that an exception to a rule confirms it, that would be retarded.
It's a legal maxim, established in English law in the early 17th century. Written, as law was in those days, in Latin:

    Exceptio probat regulam in casibus non exceptis

and is interpreted to mean ‘exception confirms the rule in the cases not excepted’
