Yeah, then skip to the chapter on TDD where he lists the "laws" :/

  Again, read the first chapter. A dogmatic text would not tell you to go find and study other sources and develop your own path. That they then tell you their ideas in an opinionated fashion is not in (total) conflict with that sentiment. The claims of dogma are, in my opinion, grossly exaggerated and a consequence of people failing to read (or failing to comprehend) the authors' own caveats in chapter 1. If they didn't include those statements in chapter one, maybe I'd agree with you. I still wouldn't discard the text out of hand, because, you know we have brains and can think critically and read a text to evaluate it ourselves. (I say "authors" because Bob Martin was the primary author, several chapters are written by other people.)
