That's not his way. Remember how he "reviewed" a book (Cosmology in 
Crisis?: The Fallacy of Universal Expansion by Kenneth Gonder) at 
Amazon without bothering to read it first. This "review" has been 
edited since I mentioned the original version, posted on 8th July, 
which read as follows: "I just bought it, but I already know it's good 
because I read a previous book by him. Thumbs up!"
