It's a debate over terminology, in effect.  Traditionally, nasals were
not considered stops, but nowadays some linguists reffer to them as
"nasal stops", meaning that air is stopped in the mouth, but it's still
nasal.  Traditional stops are then referred to as "oral stops".
Personally, I prefer the traditional definitions.
