Is this statement in support of Wirthian languages or just the opposite?

I am not sure that his argument was the same as your statement.
With all due respect it seems to me that you wrote your statement
yourself, you declared it wrong, and you are now disputing the other
persons views based on the statement you created yourself.

Not sure if it is wrong, and even less so "obviously". If it was obviously
wrong, then operating systems like INTEGRITY would not exist. Yet it does
exist despite not being free software. Check out the Green Hills website:
