Note: the talk you mentioned was by Drew Endy and the electrical engineering colleague was the one and only Gerald Sussman of SICP fame (source: I don’t remember but I’m very confident about being right).
No problem, also, in case it wasn’t obvious based on the fact that I commented basically right after you posted this, I liked the post a lot and now plan to read this book ASAP.

Thanks. I’m also pretty sure you’re right; I thought it was Endy but wasn’t 100% sure because it’s been a while.

You are correct. Please consider the difference between “understandable” and “ease of understanding”. Cheers. Drew.
