Did you need to spend money on a book to tell you that?

Is it okay for me to make money by distorting science? At what point does my behaviour cross from "finding the best presentation for the data" into "misleading the public"?

This isn't just one book either. It's a whole industry. People know that some magazines have comprehensive fact-checking, and they used to expect a level of fact-checking in pop sci print books. They didn't know that pop-sci books have almost no fact-checking.
