Speaking as someone who has had to maintain code written by someone who "learned" from these books, I completely agree. What was there was certainly C++ in a purely linguistic sense, but as code it was complete gibberish.
I am maintaining "code" written by person who was given this kind of book and told to build ERP. (This person don't have any previous knowledge on programming, mathematics or even computers)
