Why is it that as soon as cancer comes up as a topic, people stop exchanging arguments and start selling books instead, where normally they would be paraphrasing and occasionally referencing something.

I left a longer answer to a similar question here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24260568

A book is nothing but a long, detailed, carefully-researched argument. Or, at least the book I'm recommending is that.

If there are words I can say to convince you to read the book, please tell me them.

I'm literally paying people to read the book.[0]

I would love suggestions on how to improve the average discourse on the topic. What would you suggest?

Could you read through the linked thread, tell me if there's anything there that I should bring over here?

Not buying from you, not helping you sell for free.

Idk what brought you on your mission, but your pitches interrupt discussions.
