If by that you mean, "Program dumb: avoid tricky code, avoid odd usage, stick to the basics", I agree. Save your clever tricks for hobby code and the snippets you use to score hot chicks. Critical code, potentially dangerous code, and professional code should be written simply and with the idioms standard to the language.
Peter's example is "standard to the language". It's just not used much by those influenced by other idioms prior to learning Java.
I guess another way of saying this is: the people on this list are getting old. :-)
