Except from a civil engineering perspective this makes no sense at all. Bricks are not laid in a single layer like that unless the wall is exceedingly short (serpentine wall as a fence) or unless there is a structural backing like an interior load-bearing non-brick wall.
And most all-brick walls in a structural capacity (meant to carry the weight of a structure) are dual or triple walled, depending on the height of the structure and the load bearing requirements.
I think he’s saying that for a wall like that, if you pulled out a brick and looked through, you’d just see more bricks. The wall wouldn’t be just one brick thick.

A couple bricks missing won’t break the wall down quick enough to matter, especially if it’s there, just not mortared in all the way.
