This to me is a lot more concerning than a memoir being "loosely" based on the truth. I never expected those or other mass appeal non-fiction titles to be held to a very high bar.

And it's such an insanely simple sanity check to see if the citations are real. Like an intern could do it.
I'm guessing they were AI generated and that the hypothetical intern would use AI to check them.

If you think the publisher list price is high check out the paper and ebook prices on amazon.
