Re: Lee Jones Flawed Thinking

Mason's issues are slightly different than mine. What I care about is getting people to realize that the subject of poker allows people to portray an expertise they don't have. (Because mildly flawed thinking ability does not always doom a player to be a loser. It only makes his chances of success a lot smaller.)
Competent writers in other fields know that the charlatans will be quickly "outed" and in fact most of these mediocrites won't even attempt to enter the field. Not so in poker. It amazes me that all readers who are trying to win money are not avidly interested in knowing whose writngs are usually trustworthy and whose aren't.

For me, I care more about a writer that makes me think than a writer who is correct 99.99% of the time because I will never blindly accept anyone's writings. A writer can write a book that is totally wrong, and it can still influence me greatly if it causes me to think over certain concepts and expand my own thoughts. Icy pots, David. Icy pots.
