go check out any real graduate textbook. what you will find is they all have exercises.

just because the authors claim something doesn't make it true. i'm not wrong - this is not a good pedagogical resource and i would bet a year of my salary (as an ML researcher) that you will in fact not read more than 5% of this book.

You certainly have the demeanor of a certain type of ML researcher that I have encountered from time to time ...

It's a good thing you're an ML researcher and not, say, a quant trader then ;)

Really? I'd gladly read 6% of a book for a year of pay.
