Yeah, I would hard disagree. It's a disservice to students to teach this course as is.
Students need to get up to date on a topic so that they can do research if they want. Teaching a course that's 10-20 years out of date is a serious problem. They won't know what questions people ask now, they won't know any of the current players, etc.
This isn't a generic ToC course. This is supposed to be a survey of research. Nowhere does it make it clear that this is vastly outdated research.
