You aren't "topmind" in disguise, are you? Just kidding. You make some good points and I take it you don't have an issue with a particular language, just the overuse of the term "OO". I think the argument would be more effective if it didn't use overly simplified C and C++ samples. Instead, focus on what makes a software design "OO" and what doesn't. The language is largely irrelevant. Also, I think the term "syntactic sugar" is problematic - I didn't like it the first time I heard it and still don't. Isn't everything syntactic sugar? Also, these days if you're trying to be vaguely insulting it might be better to say "syntactic high fructose corn syrup".
