That describes Martin's books to a T, I think.  He writes very
well, but what he writes, maybe not so much.

  I first got to know Robert on Usenet, in comp.objects. Later, I read

  crucial point about which of the two paradigms has what advantages.
  At least 99 percent of people who talk about this topic don't get

  in my book - even if Martin might make the occasional mistake.
