Power corrupts
In the absence of language-enforced guarantees (i.e. restrictions on the power of the language) mistakes (and abuses) will happen.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
