I agree! I've only read one of the books on the list (Accelerate), and it was such a delight to have claims referencing sources in publically available empirical data/studies to corroborate said claims! Not to mention that their observations and inferences (based on the empirical data) make a lot of sense when you ponder a little while! (As opposed to the many "this-is-how-we-feel-the-truth-should-be-represented-after-our-experiences" presently available in countless blog posts and conference videos on the same subjects/themes as the Accelerate book touches upon).
