When teaching a language that support bad gotos, or compilers. Otherwise, you can count a lot of people (including me) out of that undefined "we" pronoun.

There's little point in teaching newbies about goto at all. The few modern implementations are for experts, because it can still lead to some bad code, just not the kind of "bad" Dijkstra was talking about. Yet there's a group of people that will evangelize about any subject you can think about, normally people with very shallow knowledge on the subject.
