I think you have to get a fair amount of training in music theory before it’s that uninteresting and obvious, though, which most of the audience of the book isn’t going to have. There may be some readers to whom all of the sections were uninteresting and obvious; I suppose it’s just not the book for them. (I stumbled across it when most of the material was still new to me, which is probably the best time to read it.)
