I'm sure that GP is referring to point number 2 of the article -- which explicitly says that time should (or at least could) just be data with no associated methods.

I winced at the naïveté in that section myself. It sure seems like he's arguing that OO programmers muddy the waters when they make something as "simple" as time and dates into an object with methods for storage and retrieval.
