It wasn’t clear to me that you thought I was writing a popular book, since I denied that in my second paragraph (before the quoted passage from the book).
Your clarification wasn’t in the original version of the preamble that I read. Or are you claiming that you haven’t edited it? Because I clearly remember a different sentence structure.
However, I am willing to admit my memory is faulty on this.
My original clarification said that it was a cross between academic writing and mainstream writing, the result being something like ‘Epistemology and the Psychology of Human Judgment.’ That apparently wasn’t clear enough, so I did indeed change my preamble recently to be clearer in its denial of popular style. Sorry if that didn’t come through in the first round.
Clearly, I and others thought you were writing a popular book. No need to “school” us on the difference.
Okay.

And people wonder how wars get started . . .
Heh. Sorry; I didn’t mean to offend. I thought it was clear from my original preamble that this wasn’t a popular-level work, but apparently not!
