Please explain, as that statement does not seem to make much sense to me.

You're projecting your own interpretation onto a statement that doesn't say what you claim it says. Hope that clears things up for you.

That is not what projection means though?

"Projection is a type of defense mechanism or means of coping. People may use defense mechanisms and unconscious mental strategies to cope with stressful or anxiety-provoking thoughts and experiences. When someone unconsciously attributes their thoughts, feelings, or behaviors to another person, they are projecting."

When someone unconsciously attributes their thoughts, feelings, or behaviors to another person, they are projecting.
