I once had a boss who used to say (and lived by) "the absence of criticism ought to be praise enough". His thinking was that employees aren't children who need to be praised for just doing their job.

Did he consider an absence of criticism to be praise of his management technique?

There was no absence of criticism of his management technique. In fact, the topic came up as part of that critism.
