I thought it was a joke... or sarcasm...

Iif the plane is light enough -CG does not matter
Not only doesn't CG matter but engine, structure, controls, tail, aerodynamics, etc don't matter either. Any minor wind will make it crash and/or blow away. Start thinking about your next plane and stop chasing it.

If it is too heavy -it still does not matter.
Same thing but put all the pieces in the trash can before you leave the flied.

If neither of these cases are true, it (CG) matters.
