I interpreted it. He said that it was not bad. So I am using my understanding of what he meant, not what he may have literally said.

Sorry, I find this agnosticism rather disingenuous. Yes, we can disrupt people's cultures, and therefore have to be careful about force marching them into modernity. But it is too obvious that people are better off when they are healthy, educated, have more than an economic sufficiency, and so forth, whatever their particularities of taste. Whatever enables a person to live more fully, rather than being sick, loaded with drudgery, ignorant of his options, and subject to tyranny, is improvement.
