My take is that Lindsey suspected that Jimmy would try to produce the album or at least Stevie's tracks. There's a Tom Petty interview where he says that Jimmy was only suppose to be the engineer on Damn The Torpedoes but horded his way into being producer. There were a lot of power plays going on in and out of the group at this time.
