    Well that’s kinda the point.

    Walt is the definition of someone who overvalues himself and his role in an operation.

    Hell, in that specific scenario that he’s referring to, Walt literally wasn’t the one who knocked because he got intercepted before he even got off his front porch.

      For the majority of the show, the directing and pacing leads the audience to, even if subconsciously, agree with Walt and his side of his experience, that he’s just a family man doing what he can for those he loves, or, in rare scenes, to see it from someone more reasonable like skylar’s point of view, that this is an insane psycho threatening the lives of his family and his friends to live some stupid fantasy, but in this scene, when he says this line, he seems like neither, he just seems like a guy who is kind of dense trying to sound cool. I can’t remember a time that it seemed like that.

          thats my point though, this scene is not consistent with any side of walt we have seen.

            It shows his transformation.
