If he is giving this away for free, how worthwhile is it? Sorry to be skeptical, but free doesn't always equal great quality.(excluding open source software)

- mindcrime 9y agoHow is "free" relevant here? The underlying truth is that price in general is not necessarily correlated with quality. That would be true if the book were free, or if it cost $20.00, $200.00 or $2,000.00. IOW: If he is selling this for $200.00, how worthwhile is it? Sorry to be skeptical, but expensive doesn't always equal great quality.
- paprikawuerzung 9y agoDo you have the same concerns and vocalize them when you get gifts on christmas, also? He payed the price to write this book (and maybe got salary for his work), so you can have it for free. Sorry, but your comment seems awfully misguided. (assuming you celebrate christmas) EDIT: instead of dismissing it directly, how does actually reading some parts of it first sound like? Ah, and dismissing an important argument with "excluding open source" is not a good way to actually find truth. Because if excluding this argument means changing the question and scrambling the context too much, the answer to this modified questions does not reflect reality that much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc7HmhrgTuQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc7HmhrgTuQ
- richardw 9y agoIf air is free, how worthwhile is it? Typically, value is entirely the realm of the receiver. Many things are free and incalculably valuable. Start reading the book and see if you value it. Did not downvote. You asked a valid question that furthered the discussion
