Default 4130 can't be OA welded?

While browsing a bit more of that "good 'ole internet wizdom", I ran
accross this page:

http://www.ihpva.org/com/PracticalIn...materials.html

Its a human-powered vehicle website, but on this page, the author
seems to think that 4130 cro-mo steel can't be welded with an oxy-
acetylene torch. Does this sound right? It was always my belief that
we've been OA welding airplanes out of the stuff for decades. Who is
wrong on this point?
