Saying, "read this book" is not helpful in this discussion. You don't even offer references from the book, you're telling us to read the whole thing just to even address your claims.
Your comment is basically "You're being too informative. Could you break it down for me further, again, one more time?" Seriously, no. People have already summarized it endlessly, ask Google about it, or even just poke around this thread a bit. If you want the full effect, go buy it and read it. (That's targeted at everybody reading this, not just you personally KirinDave.)
To me, his comment is basically "primary, not secondary, source materials please". Where I come from this is a reasonable request.
I have no stakes or position in the argument, but this line of reasoning can basically be applied to anything one can debate about. We could just add a first post to all threads that says 'go to scholar.google.com' and look for yourself!' but I don't think that's the point. The point of these (informal) threads is to break vast quantities of information down into specific chunks that a few people in the thread care about at this moment. In that context I don't think it's too much to ask from commenters to reference specific items, facts or studies, and not resort to 'read 300 page book xyz'.
