The distinction between micro and macro evolution is a typical strawman. Everything one can't deny anymore without looking incredible stupid is called "microevolution", the rest "macroevolution".

There are still many areas where we don't know the exact machanics, but evolution in itself is a fact.

I think he merely means the difference between an organism silencing/expressing or losing genetic material or an organism gaining genetic material.

Both can alter function. One is observed the other not (according to those who argue micro/macro).
