Well, now I'm curious, so let's break it down.  What was the context of 
the discussion?  I assume by "control bits," he meant what Wireshark 
calls the "Flags" which are Nonce, Congestion Window Reduced, ecn-echo, 
URGent, ACKnowledgement, PuSH, reset, SYNchronize and FINish bits (and a 
few reserved for future use).  The only other things in a TCP segment 
are shown here:
