I remember in college that you had lots of players with great fingers and chops but none of us had ever seen exotic mixed meter or a number of other rythms that suddenly appeared on our stands, so at that level I would tend to agree with him.

Also, you can fake notes but not rythm.

Depending on the community band, chipper, or original poster, may need to concentrate on the notes more.

At this point in my life, I'm usually doing better with the rythm than the notes. Some people favor one on the first read some the other - I think its just which comes easier to you, and I'd advise concentrating on the easy side during the sight read and leave the hard stuff for later reads. (Unless you're just THAT good - but then you're a trumpet.)
