I think he means another sense of the word 'indifferent'.

INDIFFERENT adjective

1. Having no particular interest or sympathy, unconcerned; as in "she
seemed indifferent rather than angry"; "most workers were indifferent to
foreign affairs".

2. Neither good nor bad, mediocre; as in "attempts to distinguish
between good, bad and mediocre work".

Subsense of sense 2: not especially good, fairly bad; as in "a pair of
indifferent watercolours".

Origin: Sense 1 is late Middle English; sense 2 (not making any
difference) is via Old French from Latin.
