Don't forget that it's got "4 words" by Alan Davis too!

There's also "The Pedant's Revolt - Why everything you thought was
right, is wrong!" in the same style; and its sequel "The Pedant's Return
- Why Everything you thought it wrong, is right!" - Which is kind of the
opposite, and points out things were the "Conventional wisdom" is right,
and the "Right Answer" is wrong.
