I hope this is just a glitch in terminology, and not a description of an inspector requiring you to replace oversized wire with something smaller. The rules don't specify the
required wire gauge for each branch circuit, just the minimum size of wire based on the breaker protecting it.
The confusion is that smaller size wire has a higher gauge number, and larger size wire has a lower gauge number. Saying "larger gauge" is mixing size and number descriptions.
