I'm not sure what "fully incompatible" means, so the point is somewhat lost on me. 

IPv6 is certainly not compatible with IPv4; it couldn't be, as it has a different and longer address. That said, there were also a number of design decisions made differently than for IPv4, such as the expectation that IPv4 would fragment in flight where the IPv6 designers specifically and emphatically chose to not do that, for a list of reasons, and the difference in implementation of options/extension headers.
