I believe that most likley his only reason for wanting Watkinson to fold was becuase he was worried about being drawn out if he was called by too many hands.

OK, if that is the case, I do not think it was unethical at all.

blah, this thread is a bit circuitous.
it's ethical if he says or does anything purely to make himself a +ev move.
it's unethical if he says or does anything in any way *because* it would be +ev for another player. particularly, if he does something that is +EV for one player that he wouldn't do for another player in the same spot.
is this the sort of distinction you're making el d?

As ez says, some +ev tactics are unethical angle shots or against the rules.
However, my basic point was simply this:
Let's ignore the actual table chatter and assume the specific stuff he said was not inherently unethical:
If he is doing something to "save Lee chips" that he wouldn't do if it were a random player in that spot, I think that's unethical.
If he is trying to get Lee to make the action that he would try to make any other player take, I think it's fine.
That's all I'm saying.
