Maybe not, but a lot of what Whorf said in general should be taken with a grain of salt with what we know about natural language nowadays.

Certainly something like linguistic relativity is not very popular today (I can't speak of it's scientific soundness as I'm not a linguist), but that does not change the fact that the truth of a linguist's research is not really correlated with whether he speaks the language he's studying fluently.
