Do you have a source for that statement?
A reportable accident/incident usually implies damage and/or injury, or at least a serious risk thereof.

So, for example, a runway departure on takeoff or landing could well qualify. Pushing an aircraft off the taxiway with a tug, no matter how embarrassing or inconvenient, probably doesn't.
