As an observation, that's trivial: as an apologia, it's inadequate.

I'm judging the author on what he said, not what other people think he really meant to say. If you change what the author said to be "C, C++ and Java are written in different ways," then sure, the author's right. But that's not what the author wrote, and what the author wrote is unsupportable.

I think you are nitpicking here. There is a figure of speech called "hyperbole" which "the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole).

BTW I don't understand why you refuse to comment on the original post. The author could clarify to you what exactly he meant.
