Meyers doesn't counsel us to always prefer preincrement to postincrement. His counsel only applies to user-defined types (see page 34 of More Effective C++). I haven't read TPOP, but it's my guess that since the "problem" is with the authors' use of postincrement in loop control statements, Meyers' advice doesn't apply to the code referenced.
