What is considered buttoned on the ACU sleeves?

I was recently corrected by some one on the fact that my ACU sleeves were not buttoned. I work with some Navy personel and the individual I am referencing is an E-6 and in a squad leader position. My thoughts on that at a different time. This individual saw me with my sleeves buttoned all the way open, ie to there maximum allowed opening size. They stated that I needed to button my sleeves and that it states in 670-1 that the sleeves need to be buttoned. I looked in the regulation and it states nothing of being buttoned, just not rolled or cuffed. I was curious on what your thoughts are on this.

Sergeant Coleman,

DA PAM 670-1 (4-8) says that the ACU coat has a buttoned enclosure "which must be closed at all times". The text seems pretty straight-forward to me, but I could be wrong.
