Not at all. I think the book lays out the info in a non-preachy way. The numbers don't lie and those of us who play fretted or keyboard instruments make a compromise of one type or another with our tuning decisions. It's just that most modern musicians don't understand the choice they have made (equal temperment). There really is something about a major chord with a perfect third. It is audible.
