In general, sure, books can be great. When it comes to nonfiction, they need to be based on repeatable science (AKA studies). I don’t think it’s a huge ask to bring some facts to a conversation about science.

Completely agree with you. A book by default is not a reliable source, published or otherwise. It's the scientific studies it quotes that are.
