True. The author forgot to add "scalable" there -- but that is actually mean there.

I am studying Multi-Dimensional Indexing for more than 3y now and have implemented many of the state-of-the-art indexes. They are all not sufficient as especially MongoDB's implemention is insufficient in especially the scalability-domain.
