It's not dressing up as science, though.
I understand that for someone who appreciates science, but not philosophy, the book turning out as straddling those two fields might be a letdown. But that's not the authors fault since those books are not presented as academic research, but only informed by it.
Infuriating for me are philosophical discussions which don't draw substantially on science.
