I think his point was that if you change the distance but not the modifier, you'll see the same amount of homers you would at a normal distance, leading to a lot of 600-foot-plus homers. If you adjust the modifier to make homers realistic in a stadium with 500-foot fence, you'll see almost no home runs at all and virtually none over 600 feet.
