True. Some tasks are elegantly solved when represented as events. That does
not matter because the power of a paradigm lies in decomposition: can I
decompose my huge, ill-specified, ever changing problem into those tasks? 

IMO, only OO and procedural paradigms actually can.

Even when several paradigms are used in the same system (e.g. a relational
DB, or code generated from some model) the glue between components is
always procedural or OO.
