I think it's more like how people categorize real-world stuff. Since a lot 
of programming is essentially simulating the real world, OO makes sense.

There's a bunch of things that go on in the real world that don't make sense 
to do with OO: expert systems, board game AIs, financial analysis, 
accounting, etc.

There's a bunch of things that make sense with OO: Windowing system, 
interactions between businesses and customers, etc.

To say "people think in OO" is to miss that in many situations people don't 
think in OO.

I would say this is *A* way people think naturally.  Something as simple as 
a decision table or decision tree is another way people think naturally.
