Y2K question

I recently read a quote in a publication that said:

"And then, of course, there is the dreaded Year 2000 problem in Oracle. If your code contains lines like this: v_mydate := TO_DATE(v_mystr, 'mm/dd/yy'); -- then you have some big problems coming down the pike."

Do you agree? The TO_DATE function converts strings to the default system date. In the above example, the 'mm/dd/yy' is simply telling Oracle what format the string 'v_mystr' is in, not what to convert it to.
