I get their FT mag. I LOVE it. AOPA Pilot is great too. I am learning so much. (I hope I can remember it all by the time I take lessons! )

I agree that doing a PPL under 141 has fewer advantages, but Commercial is where you make that up if you're the 50 hour PPL guy. You get your license generally 20 to 30 hours earlier and could be 50 if you're a quick study. That's time to get your CFI and multi-addon and get paid instead of paying.
It was just a figure of speech.
The way it was explained is that you're supposed to stick to the syllabus, and not skip around to different topics, but even under part 141, I don't think instructors blindly follow the syllabus to the detriment of the student. That's poor teaching (not really something I've had to deal with so far)
