Thanks to pointing to those reviews: I had my dose of laugh for today when
reading that a
reviewer "from DC, USA" points out that:
"In one instance, in a disturbing attempt at explaining the structure of
arrays in ADA, the author
chooses to use the concept of a PASCAL triangle. Don't ask why. Or how. Or
what's the point."
... so you should probably not take those critics too seriously.
