Quite aside from any of the main points being made here, the guy is dead on about Strogatz's book. I had the same reaction to that book as I did to Lipovača's Learn You A Haskell - it's a great accessible resource to learn something new and interesting (if perhaps not immediately useful). Would appeal to the HN crowd I imagine.
