If you're not interested in details behind the stories, you probably shouldn't read this book.

Given that it was published two days ago i obviously haven't read it yet,
but i'm certain this book contains material not previously published.
I've never seen Christopher publish anything that didn't add to the corpus.
Beren and Luthien is a good example. We all know that story to pieces,
and last year's publication didn't particularly disrupt anything,
but it was interesting to read the verse form, and there were many details which aren't surfaced elsewhere.

Given the very scanty details provided in the article, you seem to be leaping to conclusions.
It's unlikely that people at our level of remove from the details can accurately form an evaluation of the sort you're presenting.

Your line of reasoning is similar to lay-people second-guessing scientific experts on complex scientific topics.

Also, suppose you're totally on-target in all your points.
So what ? It's not your call whether these folks choose to do this work. It's theirs.

Part of the "care and maintenance of your body" should include, at the very least include annual check-ups and routine blood work. Part of the problem now is that people without insurance cannot afford to see a family doctor and learn they have a medical issue that can be easily (and usually more cheaply) treated and instead learn years on down the line they have a serious health condition.

Submission + - Malibu Media stay lifted, motion to quash denied

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes: In the federal court for the Eastern District of New York, where all Malibu Media cases have been stayed for the past year, the Court has lifted the stay and denied the motion to quash in the lead case, thus permitting all 84 cases to move forward. In his 28-page decision (PDF), Magistrate Judge Steven I. Locke accepted the representations of Malibu's expert, one Michael Patzer from a company called Excipio, that in detecting BitTorrent infringement he relies on "direct detection" rather than "indirect detection", and that it is "not possible" for there to be misidentification.
