No, he's saying the opposite: that the more time Reptile spends among other saurians the more reptilian and less human he gets, so it would make sense that another Saurian appeared.

But from what I've heard, Macaulyn (don't remember where), Reptile becomes more human when he's closer to humans and interacting with them, and more reptilian the less he interacts with humans. That would be why in the original timeline he began almost completely human (first MK) and became more and more reptilian along the following games. He was slowly slipping away from mankind to focus on his assassin stuff.

I actually looked up in his page in the wiki for this information, but didn't find anything that confirmed either of our explanations about it. I only think my one makes more sense because he almost never interacted with other saurians in the original timeline, and yet was getting more reptilian at each game.
