I'd really prefer not to debate the merits of the book here as that's not what's at issue.

Yes but I do think if a book is shown to be based on false data, that it should not be presented as a scholarly work. It at best belongs next to all the books by political pundits, and I have no problem with people complaining about it being in a library. You wouldn't allow math books that are factually incorrect and expect people to look for other books which 'present a better argument'.
