I just read this about a month ago and was very disappointed with the abridgment. Very unconvincing. They'd rant about correllation vs. causation and then through out some statistic without clear causation. I had high hopes for the book, but was somewhat disappointed. I haven't had a chance to follow up on the underlying papers, but I think I'd find those much more satisfying.
