Misunderstanding Dijkstra is, of course, easy if you first encountered that infamous piece after the 80s or so, where the lessons of structured programming have been thoroughly learned, every major non-assembly language has its gotos crippled to be barely capable of writing the sort of spaghetti Dijkstra railed agaisnt, and the average programmer does not work in an environment where that kind of spaghetti—mainly a product of it being easier to append and overwrite than to insert—was easy to write.

Seeing this drivel come from Bertrand Meyer is bizarre and frankly lowers my estimation of everything he's ever touched.
