tl;dr: This promotes a view that those who reviewed SICP negatively did so because they were akin to people who wanted to learn how to drive rather than how their car works.

I read the 1st and last page (of 6, tl;dr etc.) reviews and I can't agree with this viewpoint. The negative reviews seem to be based on the structure (viz. haphazard) and tone (viz. boring) of the content rather than the level. That's not to say that I agree with these reviews; I'm just pointing out that the linked page seems inaccurate.
