Agreed. I found her work to be devoid of any attempt at connecting her theoretical claims to any form of data and/or measurements.

As if two human beings who both happen to be white are the same, when one was born in a trailer park and the other a high-rise in Central Park West. I was pretty irritated to see her book getting promoted by my HR department, who is filled with people who proudly brag about "math not being my thing."

HR isn't a disinterested party here. The more built-up the theology is, the more role for the Pharisees in interpreting and enforcing it.
