His advice on the use of auto seems perfectly sane to me. The first time I learned about a language with type inference for local variables was D, and coming from C++/Java, I had the same reaction. I absolutely hated it. However, the D

Neat, I bet you could prove just about any point by fabricating a fictional character and attacking their constructed ideas. I'll have to give it a try sometime.
