I think that the "if-then" part is a simplification of imperative paradigms.

I've never heard it described that way, but I assume the part about "pin pointed procedures" tied to data is a weird way of describing the way that methods relate to the data encapsulated by their owning object.

Ultimately, I think this is a case where someone familiar with the concept has explained it to someone who is not, who has then tried to paraphrase and, lacking any domain knowledge, summarised it in an unusual and vague way.



Actually that reads as a pretty good non-developer summary of how current object-oriented programming languages work. Give that to a business person and it would probably make sense to them.
