> The author claims that the C++ type system blows goats dick No, he doesn't. He claims that the Macro system does. And he's right, C macros are full of well documented pitfalls [1][2], especially when compared to other languages. This is not really a controversial claim, btw. At this point this is common knowledge. "Blows goats dick" is letting it off easy, even. It only implies low quality, or difficult to use. C Macros however can be dangerous, unsecure and misleading. Also, this is an informal talk. Sure, you might take issue with his language, but I would expect someone taking issue with the claim to at least know about the general consensus on the topic.
