Your assumption that he would not have heard of modular design or object orientation in those days, was more insulting than calling him an old fart.


Insulting or not, I've read enough pre-1980 code to know that it is the truth.
Pre-1980, plenty of programmers had heard of modular design, and of objest-orientation (Smalltalk). Admittedly, much code was not influenced by them. Indeed, I fear some still isn't.
