So, a book titled :"the way the mind works".
This, while everybody who knows anything about the mind knows we hardly
touched the perimeter of said knowledge.
It tends to get people a wee bit sceptical.
It is then up to you, for mentioning a book with such an insane title, to
make somesort of synopsis to peak interest.
You flatly refused.

See ?
Moron indeed.
It is not ok to reference a book to avoid scrutiny.
You should at least provide the point the book is said to provide.
(and then not just a conclusion, or hell, in the case of how the mind works,
go ahead, just post the conclusion)
