I agree. Gavito also said "I lead and I follow."

In one of his teaching tapes with Marcela Duran, he showed a figure and 
said, "Now, if the woman isn't sensitive enough to do the drag here and 
instead steps around, we resolve it in another way."

But if he was dancing with someone at Marcela's level, he could lead 
anything and she'd be able to follow it, however nuanced.
