Not sure if the argument has weight. Esp since it was published in 1980, and at that time, few people actually had time to feel native in multiple computer languages. Borrowing experience from human languages, I can say with confidence that multi-lingual people often switch their mental mode when they switch from one language to another. But I would argue that the environment you grow up as a dev, forms you. I know that some of my fixations come from coding on machines that were too slow, with very little memory, and later, over Internet connections that were too slow, too expensive and had very limited bandwidth.
