An honest book would explain the trade-offs instead of say "design X is always better than Y". Context and domain matter. One-size-fits-all is wrong.

Have you read the book? I felt it did that quite well.

The overall pattern really seemed to be “I think we should do X because Y. This falls apart in the face of Z, so don’t do it there.”

That said, it’s been a couple years since I read it so I may be misremembering.
