He did say that having successive revisions is doing it wrong. Literal quote (from the translation)

"So then you get these version numbers, even with decimals, version 2.6 or 2.7. That's nonsense. While version 1 should have been the finished product."

So I think the nuance you are trying to make is unsupported. He did mean: think it through once, write it out once, version 1. Done.

Having a final output as a single version of the product does not imply anything about the production process behind it.
