ASP.NET MVC = Classic ASP with .NET class library. Really?

Question

This blogpost and one of our senior developers at work believe that web development has come full circle with ASP.net MVC. Its not really a question about VB script vs VB9/10 or whatever is the latest. Besides routing engine, helper classes and methods. What are some strong arguments you can make to say

ASP.net MVC != Classic ASP + .net BCL

Answer 1

In ASP the "View" receives the request. In ASP.NET-MVC a controller receives the request, subsequently it may choose from a number of different views to create the response.

This seperation of the Request handling from the Response handling is very different from ASP.
