I cannot disagree more with this line of thinking and the rest of the commenter's general ultra-pedantic attitude.
Please, stop thinking like an "expert" and put yourself in the mind of an 18 year old who is unfamiliar with all of the stuff. Yes, the author could be infinitely more pedantic, precise, and helpful for one specific career outcome (being exactly like you). This means precisely jack for a confused 18-year-old looking for guidance on what areas to spend their time learning programing topics while being medium-ly effective.
Please can the pedantic nonsense and try to focus on the goal.
