Well, one benefit of wide exposure (like here on HN) is that if it was wrong, somebody would be bound to come along and point it out.

FWIW, I consider myself pretty well-versed on cryptography and although I haven't gone over this book with a fine-toothed comb (yet!), it looks very, very accurate to me.

I wouldn't expect that subtle implementation errors or even protocol flaws would get noticed on any news site, or even by contributors / co-developers or whatever.
