(0) Tensors aren't “arrays of numbers” any more than points in physical space are “arrays of coordinates”. You can assign them coordinates in several ways, and this is of course useful for computations, but this isn't what tensors are.
(1) The fact tensors can have contravariant and covariant indices, which is useful to determine what computations might be meaningful, is not mentioned at all.
