What do we do with books in which the author makes some compelling arguments in early chapters, then makes some pseudoscientific claims later? I'm talking claims that have been discredited for decades.
@Pat Indeed! The author in this particular case becomes less convincing as one looks deeper.

If it's science, then judge each claim based on the evidence, whether or not they seem compelling; whether or not they contradict established scientific dogma.
