It is a significant problem.

Consider that x[i][j] means ( x[i] )[j]. Then consider that x[i] in your 
case returns an instance of Record, not ndarray.

If you want 2D indexing on an ndarray, it should be written as x[i,j]. A 
2D NumPY array is not an array of arrays.

If you work with nested Python lists, you should index x[i][j], because 
x[i] will return a list.
