<p> Yeah, I know I&#39;m probably late to the party on this one. I haven&#39;t finished the book yet, and if I knew just a little less, I might find it very convincing. As it is, I am left with significant doubts.</p> <p> Simply put, there are basic factual errors and what I think are meant to be simplifications or glosses on complex topics that are so gross as to misrepresent things, in subjects about which I know a fair amount, which lead me to be suspicious of everything else in the book–because why would he just play fast-and-loose-and-ignorant with the stuff I happen to be familiar with.</p>
