I'm not satisfied by his criteria.
There's a particular design failure mode where an emphasis on 'easier to modify' results in a codebase that's difficult to follow. You're making some future code change easier at the cost of all current code changes.
You can infer a concern about overall cost of modification into his statement, and claim that such a person is increasing the cost of code modification, but it's dangerous to leave it unsaid.
