Yes. He means that if you do not approve B, the strength of the B>C win will
be inadequate to prevent C from winning.

Because in the scenario, A can't win. So you are trying to reverse or weaken
the A>B pairwise win in order to move the win from C to B.

If you don't place B above the cutoff, then B>C is too weak to keep C from winning.
If you place A above the cutoff, then A>B is too strong to allow B to win.

If you have both of these pressures simultaneously, you are forced to rank
B strictly above A.
