The text following this heading seems to take the opposite view. I suspect this is a typo.
However, I think the heading is accurate as written. The "C is not a high level assembler" crowd, in my view, is making a category error, conflating C itself with an ISO standard and abstract machine concept coming decades later.
By the same token, "C is a high level assembler" is a gross oversimplification.
Hmm.

"C isn't not a high level assembler" indeed.
