And one doesn't know what he's talking about, he should just shut up.

Even in Java (which does have pointer data types, yet still it has "references") you need to know which types are by-value and which ones are by-reference (not that this is a particularly hard thing to remember).

And Ada has pointers quite similar to Pascal.
