Thinking outside the box isn't Mad Cow Disease

The Mad Cow reference is to the first chapter of the book...
I have one basic reservation about this book:
he should have included examples of his equations or maybe an appendix with his papers.
Link to the first paper is:
http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9811018
Having established himself in the modern physics pantheon
by finding an alternative to Guth's inflationary ideas of the early universe,
he, then, relegates himself to a dumbing down popular science writer.
He is a young scientist and maybe by the time he reaches Moffat's age
he will have gained wisdom to his awesome intellect.
In the end the Australian John Webb's observation of variation in alpha
may be the more important reference in this whole book?
I hate to see a Cambridge Don diss himself and his British friends
and all of the science process no matter how right he is.
In the end his polemic will rest own his own shoulders
and he will find himself trying to make it up to
the next poor fool along the line?
