I am not saying anything is wrong. I am simply clarifying what the historical context for object-oriented programming was. What the original idea was, which has been long lost.

I think it is kind of relevant especially when people really hype up OOP. I find that their perspective is often rather narrow. Many treat a very narrow definition of OOP as somehow superior and inherently good compared to anything else.

It is a counterpoint to all those who discount other languages for not being OOP enough. My counterpoint here is kind of: "So what? Java isn't even what OOP was meant to be anyway. Whatever works man!"
