Putting my broad brimmed non-IT hat on.
I'll have to tell you that your attitude is unhelpful. 
Taking off that hat, because I look and sound silly in it, and engaging my well rounded and broad experience of IT in business, I have to say that while it might not be the best way to say it, absolutely none of it was factually incorrect.
As you say alignment from another angle, and every time I hear this tune, I have to point out pseudo IT consultants have been spouting it for decades, with absolutley no effect.
Which makes me wonder, are they right....
May be the real problem isn't that IT won't align to the business, but that business won't allow IT to align itself. Certainly there are few other explanations. I mean if we are all thickies that just don't get it, why are they paying us, or more correctly our managers, who they picked because they weren't too IT...
