What the gentleman in that post needs to do is send a copy of the
exact same database to his associate and repeat the 'test'.
I have recently written training material for AB using two separate
machines, with exactly the same database, and I replicated the
results on both machines exactly (that was with a small database and
simple AFL).

No harder than any other language.
Start with the manual > AFL reference.
It takes a lot of patience.

Sometimes it is a Symbol error and if you search Yahoo for the
correct name you can fix it up - it's a Yahoo thing and nothing to do
with Jim or AB (I think you will find Jim has kindly sorted the
NoQuotes into a folder so you can jsut delete them from there if you
want).
There is quite a bit of information on Yahoo data (the pros and cons)
at http://www.amibroker.org/userkb/
Everything isn't spelt out there - it just details the facts and
relies on the individual to make their own judgements.
Some of the material there might help answer some of your questions.
