I’m not arguing that that’s better, or worse, but it’s definitely true and by no means a myth.

I don't think GP meant "it's completely made up", I think he meant the distinction doesn't matter most of the time.
I.e. most of the time the typing in real C++ code isn't meaningfully stronger than that found in C code.
