I had no Internet and knew zero programmers...

I agree, you did say those things in your first post, I just expanded on them as the OP obviously didn't understand your points. If you look at my post, it contains the words "as Sane said...", this means that I am repeating what you said in different words.
Different people learn in different ways, some like to work things out from scratch for themselves, and some like to see a completed process and pick it apart.
I think what set me off was this:

This seems to be implying that no matter how much trouble he has with his code, you aren't going to tell him what he is doing wrong.

Yeah. I am a firm believer in the idea that logical thinking can not be taught. Perhaps in this instance it wasn't so much of a logical error, rather then a forgotten dependant... however I'm still too out of it to make any sense, so don't mind me.
