Don’t you think the example code quoted looks really bad? If the code is that bad, why should the advice be trusted?

Don't know if this is really a bad thing - had the same problems with the book, but the apparent contradictions made me really think about the stuff. So I'm quite prepared to consider his advice, I'd never turn it into gospel.

Is the advice to be trusted though, or merely considered?
