I (Jive Dadson) said that.  I guess I figured that if I knew about it, it
was widely known.  But in retrospect, I had an information edge.  I was in
Silicon Valley, working on the Next Big Thing, and I was wired into USENET.
My earliest dejagoogle hit is from '86.  (It's not under "Jive Dadson", a
more recent nom du net.)

He didn't say "OOP all began when..." or "OOP was widely

Well, it was widely known by everyone who read the motos I stuck up on my
cubicle walls. :-)
