Okay, Rene. How many students have *you* taught?
Where are your "megas" of class notes, lab assignments, and other
pedagogy?

This just sounds like propaganda on your part to try and cover the fact
that you don't have the ability (or desire, actually) to teach anyone
programming in assembly language. So rather than improve your product
by adding such tools, you attempt to attack other tools and people who
provide such facilities. Poor Rene.

Hmmmm....
Whatever. You do realize that "lecturer" is a formal title, right?
"Teacher" is a generic term. Thousands of lecturers and professors
across the planet are going to be surprised to discover that they are
not teachers.

This statement is 100% true. Because there is *no* assembly rebirth.
And 100% of nothing is nothing. By your own words, the hobbyists have
contributed nothing. :-)

OTOH, lots of people *are* learning assembly language each day. And the
*vast* majority of people learning assembly language are students
taking university and college courses from "lecturers."

Again, you are quite correct. But most students who are taught in a
formal course tend to learn the material far better than those who
attempt to learn the material on their own. There are exceptions, but
by and large the average student does far better when their education
is organized by a teacher. In particular, an instructor that has
organized the material in a logical, canonical, fashion so that the
student isn't jumping back and forth across all the material will
produce a much better educational experience for that student.
