This is definitely offputting:

> If you're unhappy with the price, then please feel free to take 6 years to learn, test out, write-up and maintain everything contained in the 100+ pages of my new eBook.

Or maybe I'll just buy a cheaper book from someone else?

Hmm not a bad idea. or may somebody could just maybe you know, pay the $100, rehash it and sell the summary/rehash of the book for $20? Even different translations of it.

On a more general note, I wonder if a group effort/initiative exists to "open source" the rewrite of contents of these unbeleivably expensive text books? While content can be copyrighted, the re-explained content versions of these cannot be right?

Yep that line would make me not buy this. I don’t care for that kind of sneering language.
