This is not a very smart statement at my mind.

You could even say: "Don't focus on textures" or "Don't focus on 3d, make it 2d".

I could, but I didn't. I said what I said how i wanted to say it. I understand your interpretation, but what I meant was; make sure your game is playable and has an interesting gameplay first (and that my friend doesn't involve graphics at all ). I wouldn't exactly call this prototyping, but you could call it that I suppose. Shaders are definitely not evil, quite the contrary, but too many people focus on shaders first, before even having a real game to start with.

But it is not very smart to say shaders are not for the Indies.
