He never said it did. He said that "s" and "t" were modified.
Those are pointers to char, which he increments in each
loop iteration.

I can't remember exactly what he said, but my mental filters would probably have assumed that as he was explicitly modifying those variables he would not be surprised by them changing value. Of course, I could be wrong.
