The cult of non-judgmentality has now grown to the point where you can't imply judgment of someone or something else. (Not that there's no judgmentality in our culture; far from it. But like everything else, it's unequally applied.) Lee is so certain that not owning a TV, or saying so, is an act of judgment that he has to preemptively erase that judgment. It isn't just wrong now that someone say "I don't like your conduct"; it's now apparently bad that someone else might partake in conduct different then your own, and in presenting an alternative to your conduct appear to be judging it. This is a culture of self-obsession taken to its logical conclusions.
