What befuddles me (among a long list if things) is .. where did these guys see punch cards?  I am 79 years old and punch cards were in my rear view mirror.  I x-punched cards in the military but that was pretty much it.  My first computer was in 1971 and had no punch cards, although a reader was available.

1971 was 46 years ago.  If someone working today used punch cards it has to have been for a very few years and very early in their career.  Those were the days of telex, telegrams, air mail, and carbon paper.
