I think you can be a bad/losing (not retarded) player, read Rolf's book, and become a winning player. I'd like to see why you disagree.

The part about playing short stack / only premiums / hit and run is not the idea i have of 'good poker'.

Right, it teaches you a style of poker that you can win at, but it doesn't teach you much about omaha which was my point.

There will be a book, don't remember the publisher, covering PLO tournaments and cash games supposedly published in October. The author is Sammy Farha.

Who is he?

Is that the guy that lost $2mm playing Townsend in HUPLO a few months back?
