IIRC, K&R did not used "I", "we", or "the authors". K&R were geniuses (even if they indent 8 instead of 4 spaces). There is a reason they areso rarely matched in technical writing: genius is a rare commodity.
While K&R's book is genius, I'd be hesitant to say it is because they didn't use "I". Feynman uses "I" and "we" a lot in his technical books and he's a genius.
