As you "don't have a copy of the book", I'm not sure then why you sieze upon the first thing you saw on the HCI website (which was not even substantiated) to discredit the work without even making an effort to read any of the critiques and responses.

If you want to discredit it, you might at least go to the last link I provided. There seems to be some interesting points against it even if I don't agree with them.
