I think what he's saying is that if you have one track and it peaks at 0 dBFS and then you add a second track that peaks at 0 dBFS then you need to pull both tracks down 6 dB to keep your master faster from clipping 0 dBFS.
Right...and then if you add two more tracks it's another 6 dB...four more, another 6 dB...etc. So if you have a 12-track mix that's peaking at 0 dBFS and you bumped it up to 24 you'd need 6 dB more headroom, and another 6 dB if you bumped it up to 48.
