All I can say is what I have heard from Micheal Lewis via various media - writings, interviews, forum discussion via video - and that is almost certainly untrue. The best way I can describe it is that Amos was very devoted to a process. The way Lewis tells the story, what haunted Danny was the very thing that Amos and Danny both worked on - self-doubt because of perception. It seems at least that Lewis has as a goal making Amos out to be kind, but rigorous. Daniel simply suffered deeply crippling self-doubt. He did not want to release "Thinking.." because he was convinced it would destroy his reputation.
