You stopped too soon - those apparently OOP semantics ultimately require decidedly non-OOP machine code at the real level it is executed. Everything else is just abstraction.

Trying to argue that you are, in fact driving a steam engine, requires one to assume a level of abstraction and definition, in order to set an arena in which a discussion can occur.
