Well put. I've seen many people who will be quick to jump and say Java|C++|PHP|Ruby|Python|C# is the BEST AT EVERYTHING EVER because the Internet tutorial they took told them so. These people are so common that having opinions on a language is something that you actually need to be careful what remarks casually about, lest you be branded an uninformed idiotic language bigot. Most languages in wide use are there for a reason, but that doesn't mean any and all opinions on them are invalid.
He should have mentioned Lisp, along with some other languages. However, I don't know how intentional that was, but he only mentioned languages used by the first kind of snobs -- those who are not familiar with great number of tools. Of course, I'm oversimplifying, but I'm sure that average Lisp, Smalltalk or Haskell programmer have used more languages than average C++, Java or PHP.
