Some of those are simply wrong. For example, the section on power law says "The central limit theorem does not apply and there is thus no 'average' earthquake.

Some of those are simply wrong.
For example, the section on power law says "The central limit theorem does not apply and there is thus no 'average' earthquake. This is true of all power-law distributions." But power laws with power -k have a well-defined mean if k>2, and finite variance if k>3.
The section on feedback loops implies that runaway is only possible with positive feedback, and that loops with negative feedback are stable.
Others are mutually exclusive. Tendency to stereotype is bad, but Bayesian method is good. Clearly both can't be right, and no rule is given to differentiate between those cases.
