While this is true of some languages (not all), it is definitely not true of the underlying microprocessor, as a whole.

Therein lies the problem. Abstraction is a moving target. To define something as "evil", whether it be an eval or a goto, is to indulge in the kind of behavior that judges a food by the taste of the wrapper.
