I get the feeling you ain't a scientist or a salesmen.

Depends on your definition of "scientist".

Some say that mathematicians who specialize in the application of
theory are scientists by default.

Default of who, I can't say. :)

As to sales - I readily admit that I would not make a good retail
sales person.

I would probably find a way to kill anybody who actually wanted to buy
anything for asking too many questions or being stupid.

However, it is a good read if only for the more common sense approach
by another one of the top hard scientists who were classically
trained.

Does not make a case one way or the other actually - only explains
what the difference is between cult science and real science.
