Maybe because they don't know...

In an issue of Turbo Technix, an example in one of the articles
actually RELIED ON the order of evaluation to get the correct answer.
And the author proceeded to explain that two results are reasonable
(left-to-right and right-to-left evaluation) and furthermore adds
that the left-to-right evaluation is CORRECT!

I wrote them a letter about it, but by that time the magazine had
gone extinct.
