My take is that the book also works as a source of authority for aspiring SSR and SR devs.

Comments about code style are usually subjective, and, they can be easily dismissed as a personal preference, or, in the case of a Jr dev, as a lack of skill.

Until they bring up "The Uncle Bob book". Now, suddenly, a subjective opinion from a Jr dev looks like an educated advice sourced from solid knowledge. And other people now have a reason to listen up.

All of this is totally fabricated, of course. But it's like the concept of money. It's valid only because other people accept it as valid.
