Brendan Eich does not oppose ASI.

Error correction simply means "add a semicolon if it's necessary."

He does oppose it being thought of a syntactic feature, ie part of the syntax.

He says it should be thought of as an error correction feature.

That is: do not in any case rely on ASI. Add your semicolons and only let ASI do it works when you do an actual ERROR and forget to add one.
