False authority.
Pretty close to anything Stephen King has ever published has made a best seller list at one point or another. Doesn't mean he has even a tiny bit of insight, or even the shallowest puddle of knowledge, about finances, war, or anything in his latest book. It DOES tend to indicate he has some pretty good "skillz" on the topic "how to write a best selling book". (though there's debate in some circles that says he doesn't have much of a clue about that, either, and he's just afflicted with diarhea of the word-processor)
Put another way, a book's popularity has no connection whatsoever to whether whatever it might claim is "right".
Please, don't try trotting out the "I read it somewhere, so it must be true" concept...
Hell, I've read on the internet that purple aliens from a yet-to-be-discovered 11th planet have landed on earth, and are wandering around offering a cure for all cancers to anyone who'll give 'em a cow-pie with the right shape and number of ripples.
Must be real, 'cause I read it on the internet, right? Same as whatever this Lowery guy says in this book you speak of - "It's a best seller! It MUST be right!"
Bad news: 'tain't necessarily so in either case...
Or, it could have something to do with curves and such…. I can’t remember.
