Stefan, allow me to join the crowd in defence of the quack you have
unearthed. After all, we all know that ambiguity doesn't matter in
programming, because the compiler can guess our intent and make things
just right. And getting people interested is all that matters. I mean,
we've all had this colleague, the enthusiastic slob, and we've all loved
to maintain his code. And finally, it is only natural that if, after
having paid for the transmission of knowledge, students want to know how
it /really/ works, they should take the initiative and turn to freely
available resources on the 'net. Perfectly normal.

Nothing to see here, carry on.
