Why the claim that c# people don't get object-oriented programming? (vs class-oriented)

Question

This caught my attention last night.

On the latest ALT.NET Podcast Scott Bellware discusses how as opposed to Ruby, languages like c#, java et al. are not truly object o

Maybe they are alluding to the difference between duck typing and class hierarchies?

if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, just pretend it's a duck and kick it.

In C#, Java etc. the compiler fusses a lot about: Are you allowed to do this operation on that object?

Object Oriented vs. Class Oriented could therefore mean: Does the language worry about objects or classes?

For instance: In Python, to implement an iterable object, you only need to supply a method __iter__() that returns an object that has a method named next(). That's all there is to it: No interface implementation (there is no such thing). No subclassing. Just talking like a duck / iterator.

EDIT: This post was upvoted while I rewrote everything. Sorry, won't ever do that again. The original content included advice to learn as many languages as possible and to nary worry about what the language doctors think / say about a language.
