Hmmm.  OK.  How's this:

OO methods are always an impediment when the application is not
naturally an OO.  And the lack of any method is always an impediment if
the application has some natural structure.

Perhaps the following opinion will fall on more sympathetic ears:

For those of you who use phrases like "OO methodologies", it's "OO
method".  The word "methodology" indicates the study of method.  You
sound like a bunch of stodgy old bureaucrats whose only skill is placing
clip art in powerpoint and go to every length to establish their
relevance with made-up words.  "Methodologies"... Sheesh!  We may as
well run around talking about all those biologies, physicses,
sociologies, ontologies, and phenomenologicalies everyone uses.
