    Frankly, he needs thicker skin if he wants to publish at this level

    Au contraire. He’s not writing for a scientific audience, he’s writing for the NYT bestsellers audience. Thin skin somehow helps with the promotion of these books.

      Fair. To be clearer, if he wants to be taken seriously as an academic/authority he needs to develop thicker skin. Pop science book or not.

      If the critics are wrong, he’ll be vindicated over time.
