The poster is right, he just worded it funny. What he's saying is that in matrix mode, you're being told a specific EV to use based on what the camera thinks of the scene, or being told that your current settings let in too much/not enough/ too little light.
CWA can be used that way, but it can also be used more intelligently by figuring what tone it's weighting the metering for. Fast but still lets the photographer in on what it's thinking. Matrix metering just runs it through some occultic algorithim without letting one know if it's weighting more that big dark lake over in the corner or the shiny white shirt your friend is wearing.
Spotmetering just tells you how the spot it's pointed at will be rendered relative to medium gray. If it's saying it's a stop overexposed, it'll end up as zone six. Etc.
