He also likes to correctly identify the person he's responding to. You do

Your claim is that "The Book" is all that anyone ever needs. Support that.

Support it in light of the fact that The Book is not a 500,000 page

the fact that invariably following The Book makes you predictable and thus
half-defeated before you get out of bed in the morning.
