That's the crux of it really.
Fair comment. I haven't seen the book either btw, or any details regarding the hole. Unless my basic concerns (overly complex theory being favoured over very simple one; apparent lack of attention to facts like whether the hole is man-made or natural, what tools were used, etc) are addressed, reading the book isn't going to change anything.
That's not intended as a dig at self-publishing, but as a constructive criticism of what I've read on this thread so far.
