He opened up the response with an analogy about cells.

For an analogy to have any use at all, it must illustrate a contrast between two relevant ideas.

The article is entitled "Why OO Sucks" and written by the author of Erlang.

I "projected" that the comment to which I replied was defending the non-suckiness of OO by using the cell analogy to contrast with erlang. Are you saying that was a leap?

What you are saying makes sense: there is more than one useful model. But that point should be made in the context of Joe Armstrong's specific criticisms; not claiming that OOP is as modular as a cell and erlang is not.
