"as anything other than one of them"

Could be read either of these two ways:
1) An assertion that Tyler is in fact one of them (M$M), or
2) They just want Tyler to not be one of them (yours)

Based purely on the words, both interpretations are at least reasonable. I suspect he MEANT it as you interpreted and I think that is the more logical interpretation. Actually hearing it said might shed some light on the intent. I have not.
