Eh, I don't know. Maybe between proto-punk and punk, I'd agree. They classify The Stooges as proto-punk (and who else? -- the New York Dolls, Television, etc?), but is there reallly that much of a difference, sonically?
But, if I listen to the Pistols and Joy Division, there's a distinct difference there.
