Absolutely. I get highly upset if I see all the sloppy reasoning, sweeping
generalizations and unwarranted assumptions in an area that I happen to love
and know a thing or two about. I don't blame Lauri for making highly
debatable claims such as that optimizing GOTO code is harder and compilers
for GOTO languages are necessarily bigger and buggier, because he does not
claim to be an expert. But Chris Date does, and by including it in an
article of his he gives it some authority and might mislead some people into
believing that these claims are actually well-founded. If I would have
included such a quote in an article of mine, it would have been torn to
threads by the reviewers.
