Their argument would be that J works differently, and once you internalize how it works, many hard problems become tractable. Their slogan is something like, "understand the problem, and it's done" -- meaning that once you understand the problem, the second step of translating the solution into code is near-trivial. I would argue that's at least partially because J programmers are in general incredibly smart. (I don't count myself as a J programmer.)
