I'm not sure what there is to disagree with. Fire around gasoline is dangerous for a number of reasons, but liquid gasoline pooled just isn't as volatile as people imagine.

The vapors are different. See both sides of this coin here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsZOE1nvlhI

Also, this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vln5-HZpgcA

Don't try this at home. Vapors can change things dramatically and horribly. The videos lightly demonstrate this too, but it can be worse.

Liquid gasoline without the present of vapor is pretty much nonexistent. Dropping a match into some is going to be a problem.
