What is immature about the view of science in the book? It seems to go to great (even unnecessary) lengths to adhere closely to 'real' science. Certainly the author's understanding of science is far beyond that of the average person in the United States or anywhere else. I will say the book provided an interesting insight into some people in China's view of the West. It reinforced what I've observed, a love/hate perspective mixing an admiration of achievements, inferiorty complex / assumption of Westerners' superiority (undeserved, surprising, and embarassing, but I've seen it many times), and resentment of Westerners' arrogance and disregard. People in the West have forgotten or written off the horrors inflicted under colonialism, including what Chinese call their 'Century of Humiliation"; people in the countries that were oppressed often have not.
