I share your skepticism.

Now, since you appear to know about these things, among all the available papers/article/blogposts/books is there any that you would recommend as being less wrong than the rest? For example, a while ago I read this book [1], and it didn't seem so bad, but I'm not in the industry. Can you recommend anything, even with caveats?

In general, books are a much better source of information than papers or blog posts when it comes to trading. I haven't read the one you posted, but a few I can recommend:

[0] is okay. I disagree with a lot in there, but it's pretty well written and one of the better books on the subject. [1] Is very old, but it's one of my favorites. It's very mathematical. The ideas still apply today. [2] Is a good introduction overview
