I’d recommend reading “How to make the world count” instead of a work of a morally bankrupt guy who used the very same tricks he criticized to discredit the cancer studies of tobacco usage.

I suppose you mean the book "How to Make the World Add Up" of Tim Harford?! :-)

Everyone should just read everything by Tim Harford and then the world would be a better place.

I'd recommend reading whichever book is better.
