Speaking of things specifically called out, the HN guidelines ask you not to write the words "did you read the post".

Fair enough! thanks for keeping me honest. Unfortunately edit window has passed so can't fix as suggested in the guidelines:future readers please ignore the question and start at sentence 2.

Hmm so better to just overtly state "you didn't read the post."
?
No. How about, just read the guidelines and find out.

So what you're telling me is that I didn't read the guidelines. Kind of my point exactly. But anyway.
In other words there's no reason to believe the author would miss any of the books you mentioned by his "journalist disdain".
