No, he didn't. He just talks about INTRA blocks. A P-frames full of
INTRA-blocks is larger than a I-frame full of the same INTRA-blocks,
because in I-frames there's AC/DC prediciton between blocks and for
P-frames, there is not. 
That why it's better to use I-frames if the amount of INTRA blocks gets
too large.
