Query: I'll be slightly more charitable than most skeptics.

As a skeptic, I'm well aware that the arguments in this book are lame. But, to be slightly charitable, the book is about 20 years old, so I think it slightly unfair to judge it by modern standards.When I first read it, back when it was new, I didn't know anything about skeptical arguments. And so, at the time, I enjoyed the book. The author intended this book to be "light" and it is. And he has other books he intends to be scholarly (Evidence that Demands a Verdict) which really isn't, but gives the appearance of being so to the uninitiated. So, for what the author intended it to do, at the time he wrote it, I think it fit what he intended. It is of course complete garbage now, but I suppose for its era, I figure I should give it about 2 stars.
