I rather like these two:

    I find OOP technically unsound. ...
    I find OOP philosophically unsound. ...
    I find OOP methodologically wrong. ...

    You cannot do object-oriented programming in Java.

What the first calls OOP, the second calls "class-oriented programming". What the second calls proper OOP, I think is more along the lines of what the first advocates.

It seems like what he is arguing for (a methodology that starts with algorithms and generalizes an interface) is what type classes (at least in Haskell) offer.
