Besides this idea of taking a label away from something you don't like is also a good strategy in general. He obviously doesn't think Erlang should do multiple inheritance. He just points out languages that have been calling themselves OO these years have been impostors.

Also not sure if I mentioned, Joe like to make witty jokes. So don't take it too seriously.
