Yes you are right. We have 2 students (3rd Year at University) here that have been exposed only to C or Java and they are totally index-intoxicated ... They can't reason on collections. Difficult for them to change their habits. Sent from my iPhone

Probably on day 1 and 2 :) The problem is that people new to Smalltalk have a background. If they have programming experience, it is likely with a language where indexes are important. Finding out how and when to avoid using them takes time to learn. And that is exactly when they need the cheatsheet most.
