I think you need to remember the audience of the book. It's aimed at beginners, and formula's are a good way for a beginner to learn, and hopefully they'll be playing other beginners and/or uniformed players.

At the low limits, I think you'll find both beginners and the uninformed. So in that regard, the book's advice is good. But to advance your skill and play at higher limits, I agree, you need to think outside the formulas.

But, for you to say WLLHE is no good because you won't beat better players or make a lot of money is like saying a Ford Festiva is no good because it will never win a NASCAR Race. It won't, but of course, that is not what it was designed to do. Just like a Festiva is designed for basic transportation, WLLHE is designed to help beginners and low-limit players beat, or at least not get crushed, at the games they are playing.
