I think Harri is using "amphibian" as a description of lifestyle
rather than as a description of phylogenetic "level". In that sense, a
human who lived a lifestyle of croaking on floating leaves and eating
the occasional fly could be counted an amphibian while remaining
phylogenetically as a mammal.
