I used to read Coding Horror, I do enjoy reading experiences like that. I'm glad I don't have to experience them myself! ;) But no matter how much we explain what the authors of this book and this paper meant, their titles have absolutely been taken out of context. I saw more of it in Linux in the '00s, I think. Perhaps it was the same self-taught hobbyist programmers coming from BASIC who took them out of context, but I think many of them were too young to have experienced that sort of BASIC.
