Is there something wrong with a 100 page introductory book on a topic being "superficial"?
I find this kind of fixed-mindset gatekeeping a lot and it really rubs me the wrong way. Everyone has to start somewhere.
We typically discourage people from diving in the deep end of a subject.
You know, starting with something "superficial."
