Why sir, calling out Taleb on his banality. What a rare criticism to be spotted in the wild.
He wrote a book, the swan one, which is a rehash of his previous one, the randomness one. The book contains very little scientific data. It's mainly about him sitting down and deducing things (which are probably true, I'll give him that). It's verbose, it's boring, it's irrelevant and, of course, it's a best-seller.
