@NotBruceZ Would you give me permission to re-post some of your reviews of the book on 2+2, without attribution (or with, if you prefer?), under my own name? I’ve kinda got myself into a little contretemps, basically saying Mason is a useless editor and that I have evidence.
It’s not? Admittedly I haven’t read it, but the impression I got from this thread was that applying the concept of EV to historical situations was exactly what the book was about?
Do they really intend to make money? It seems more like a vanity project, like “behold my insight, I’m so smart I can write a whole book in a field where I am a total novice!”
