I think he means don't make contracts based on professional reviews.
The ironic thing, wouldn't this normally benefit the staff more than anything? I would imagine most bonuses in the video game industry are based on either reviews or sales. Both of which are very high for Bethesda. This is only a theory, but it's possible someone thought they would have higher chances of reaching a review goal than a sales goal (considering sales can sometimes be fickle, but good reviews from popular, well-respected franchises are easy to get), and intentionally bargained for a contract like this, and it backfired.
Like I said, it's only a theory, I have nothing to back it up. But I do think if they had a choice, a lot of people would probably see a review goal as being a better bet for them.
