I hope you feel better soon, and that you feel up to participating in future discussions on a more even footing.
I'm mad that I can't defend it better. I also feel like I'm betraying the author by making his position look weaker than it is.
You misunderstand me. I am making no appeal to authority. Rather, I am saying it might be worth your time to look at the argument more in-depth. If it was just some guy with a blog, people would probably think it was a waste of their valuable time, but that Kim's book was published by such presses might assure more people they might get greater value out of spending their time reading and considering it.
That's why we have printing presses with such good reputations in the first place.
Fair enough. I remain skeptical, and between studying for work (and future work) related stuffs and my existing reading list, I won't be checking it out soon.
But I will keep an eye out. Thanks!
I appreciate the understanding.
