I agree that it's full of spin and open to criticism (which is unfortunate) but I appreciate why it was written and the core message is strong. I'd also state that it's intended as a counter argument to the spin coming from the likes of Douglas Preston, James Patterson and Stephen Colbert (which is also widely open to criticism). I like to see some balance.
