I'm not sure if it really is my place to criticize design
decisions of a
language written by people that devoted their career to
computer science
while I have only read some books out of boredom :)
At the moment dpaste is not working for me.
Regarding your right to criticize, if someone gives you a car
that has upside-down door handles, you are right to criticize,
despite you have only 16 years old and no degree in mechanical
engineering :-)
And regarding the knowledge from the books, there was a nice
story written by Asimov (it's a bit long and it's a bit obsolete,
but perhaps we'll never see a movie about it):
