We used to have variants of Pascal suitable for systems programming.
No. You might have used Pascal for systems programming, it was never suitable for it. C ate Pascal's lunch for really good reasons, and it has since drifted off into the irrelevancy it deserves. Google Kernighan's "Why Pascal is Not My Favorite Programming Language" as a start, the rest I leave as an exercise for the reader.

Nope, profs are people too, and just as likely to get caught up in the heat of the moment as anyone else. They might know more than you ever will about Shakespeare, or fluid dynamics, that doesn't make them infallible.
BCC doesnt show other recipients
Not all mail systems handle BCC this way. The X.400 system (at least used to) take the odd approach of hiding the BCC recipients from the main recipients, but all the BCC recipients could see each other. Other mailers may do equally odd things (or have non-standard settings).
