Russell, I think you misunderstood.
His writing sucks. I totally agree with that. What I was lamenting is that it's good enough for the intended audience. You and I can parse his writing all we want and find all the mistakes, but the average Joe person that he is writing for probably won't. The intent is to overwhelm the reader with big words and fancy-sounding language in order to intimidate the reader into thinking that the author must be very smart and therefore must be right. At this, the Disco boys are pretty good, Luskin included.
