Regardless, his characterisation of the English language is way off the mark. Unless the real world analogy of Wikipedia is Friday Night on a pub crawl through Watford, then that sort of language is only ever used between people who know each other.
If you went up to a stranger and told them to fuck off, the results are likely to be, erm, unpredictable. If you said it to a policeman, you could get yourself arrested pretty quickly.
He is stupid for asserting it, and I would suggest he would not be using it when practising his singing - "Oi, you cunt at the back, stop fucking singing flat." No, I don't think that has the ring of truth.
I could not use the c word in front of my wife or her friends without serious fallout (I tried it once...). The F word I reserve for deliberate displays of anger where someone has completely overstepped the bounds of decency, and I would normally expect to apologise afterwards for doing it.
However, I can switch into a work environment where the language is entirely in context. It would never be appropriate in a public context. For example, it can get you thrown off a flight.
