You missed his point.

The MM's will "short" the stock in order to make sure the market is liquid.. i.e. they will short to fill a buy order knowing that they will very quickly have the shares to cover it. It all happens within a few seconds, or less, of each other, but it is still counted as a short sell.

The SEC wrote a letter about it.
