I'm not so sure it's poppycock. The asynchronous IO APIs all do the
work in a background thread (or a 'simulated' background via a run
loop). Either way the IO is not blocking the main application thread
when it is working. So I don't think the concept that correct IO is
IO that is done in the background is at all 'poppycock'.

Poppycock. Why do you think non-blocking synchronization primitives
exist?
So waiting on a blocking socket until it times
out or gives EOF is normally how IO is done.
Maybe that's normally how you've done IO, but other solutions exist.
