I totally agree with you, but as you know, a CPU is pretty complex and is not possible to explain it all in just one article. Before writing it i've been looking for something similar and have not found any other article that explains as much as i've covered, so, to me it can be considered far from being perfect but "good enough".

Also, i'm technical but don't want to spoon-feed anyone, the article says what a logic gate is, how are they built and which ones are the basic ones, after that, just some wikipedia and google will be enough to teach any reader how to build the other variations, same applies to flip-flops.

I'm not witting this as rude as it looks, indeed, i agree that i've been far from explaining exactly how everything works and fit together, but i tried my best to make it simple, not too techie and easy to read, and becoming a text-book was just out of my scope.
