It’s good critique. Think about how much is conveyed in just a sentence. You wrote three paragraphs to a one sentence reply. How much did one sentence make you think? A lot.
In other words, you are proving that our initial takeaway from the opening sentence was valid.
How egotistical, to publish your book in a unconventional way, explain that you are doing so, proclaim you are a little like Walter White. How could one not judge the whole thing?

Why doesn’t he tell the truth? Would a publisher even publish it? Would a paperback even get to a store? Does he have a better chance at marketing and broadcasting the book in digital form? Probably right?

No, you shouldn’t write this article at all. You should publish your book, evaluate it’s success and failure, and then write your analysis.
