To clear up the science stuff: from Rippetoe's practical programming...
You can promote whatever you want though. It's your book.
In my book on handstands, I purposefully went against the grain and told people something called the "hollow body position" is useless for beginners -- when it is something most acro gurus focus on first thing.
A lot of popular books go WAY against the grain and even tout total bullshit (that the author honestly believes) and make tons of money, and actually help tons of people (because anything is better than being sedentary.)
People who use my book get amazing results. I have tons of testimonials. That's what matters.
But this method of processing critique/input is unacceptable from an entrepreneur IMHO.
