Hi Larry.
You have a good point about Peter Kramer -- no, he doesn't seem unprofessional; in fact, I've said before that if I should ever have the misfortune to find myself in Providence, I'd be pleased to see him as my doc. Not because he wrote a book, but because he wrote several books that were very good.

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic here in assuming that lay people aren't necessarily stupid :-), but I think he could have done that without resorting to gross oversimplifications.
