They are calling out your malapropism.

An "armature" is a part of a generator or electric motor that usually consists of copper coil that rotates around a core composed of a different metal. It's the part that converts electrical energy to kinetic energy and vice versa. You were probably looking for "amateur", which is an adjective describing non-professional engagement in an activity.
