I've supplied a lot of advice and redressed a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you've posted makes complete sense. Please continue the good work - the more individuals know the better they'll be armed to deal with the tax man, and that's what it's all about.

Even the title is stuffier. "Darwin's Black Box" sounds a lot more interesting than "The Design Inference" which from the title sounds almost like a Robert Ludlum novel knockoff(Next up, The Irreducibility Agenda, followed by The Transitional Conspiracy. ) until you realize it is an academic book and then it sounds frightfully dry.

Ah, damn. I can't make things up just to support my premise. <i>The Design Inference</i> has an Amazon sales rank below 450,000, while <i>DBB</i> has a sales rank better than 4,500 and even <i>Icons</i> is above 25,000. That said, flowers are sexy. And I'm a better writer than any of that lot.
