Re: Which scales better? J2EE, PHP, or CGIDEV2?

Quoted from Get Thee to the Web, Part 3 by Paul Tuohy:

"Scalability relates to how many people will be accessing your application at
the same time, and how well your application can handle the workload without
detrimental response times. Usually, you would use Java for high usage, PHP for
medium, and CGIDEV2 for below medium."

What makes people THINK that J2EE scales better than PHP, and PHP scales better
than CGIDEV2? Is that thinking correct?
Because J2EE has been designed to work even when the workload cannot be handled by a single box anymore but needs to spread over multiple boxes.

(It is not easy to do right, though :) )
