I see your point.
If the advertised methodology could only be applied using information sold separately, Book2, software, charts etc, then the author probably should have disclosed that at the onset. But in this case the topic of the book is "form cycle analysis", which is arbitrary. The same information, speed figures, pace numbers, tops, pairs, regression and other cycles can be interpreted differently by two people using the same figures. Similar to Jerry Brown and Ragozin, they may each have horses going in the opposite directions of a form cycle not necessarily because they are using different numbers. If one is using a good set of numbers, wouldn't pace top and some others be a universal cycle?
However, you may be right nonetheless.
