I think you're underestimating how badly it taught them. I see a lot of developers (when interviewing) that are unable to reason about code.

Lot's of people learn how to cook by following recipes, but they don't try to get work in catering or running restaurants. That requires a different level of understanding.

SO was the coding recipe book. It was fine for hobbyists. Not professionals.
