Agreed, this seems like a poor attempt to ridicule a valuable effort by Dubner and Levitt. The authors come across as petty. The write hundres of words pointing out omissions by way of completeness or completely making up controversy (best way to have a child play in the world cup is an obvious exaggeration). Not something that is difficult when examining 7 years worth of work.
