I read the reply as: "This is what your solution achieves currently. By looking at the results, you can probably see what goes wrong and split it into multiple sub-problems and possibly even have an idea on how to fix them." In other words, he was teaching debugging through inspecting data and it will help with the apparent "cobble together code and modify it until it appears to work" mentality the OP might have.
