Czerniak's Opinion of Bishops vs. Knights

Source: amazon.com

From Moshe Czerniak's Book of Chess, 1967 edition, p. 186 (my translation):

"It is usual to consider the knight and the bishop as equal in value. But it is known to all that in the opening, the knight is slightly better, while in the ending, the bishop is. The knight is therefore the most active piece in stormy attacks, especially when both knights cooperate." 

Any dissenters?
