I offer this add-on to the post from earlier today. I have respectfully removed point number two from my post. The book in question does need to be read before being judged. I’ll stand corrected on this, but I would still think the article shows what happens when things are taken to extremes. Those curious can find an online copy of the entire book here. I encourage you to read it for yourself:
