Weasel words. Considered a classic by who? And why would being an "intro text at MIT" mean it's good for someone who is already experienced? If anything, that should show it's not worth his time.

By just about everyone who's ever compiled a list of the greatest CS books of all time?
Here you go:

Count how many of those have SICP on their list (hint: most of them, excluding the ones that aren't actually lists of CS books -- e.g. the ones that have Jobs and Gates biographies, etc.)
I didn't just make that up, dude. And this isn't Wikipedia, either.
