Whenever I am reading a book, and parts of it hit the "Um. NO!" button, I have difficulty trusting a lot of what the author says after that, too.

I'm sure there's a fancy logic train crash name for that feeling, but I don't know it.

My most recent "crash" reading was in a book on childhood discipline, when on the topic of kids doing outrageous revenge actions like breaking computers or the family dishes when tantruming, that they just needed more love and attention to "fix" the problem. Every thing else the author says, even things that I DO at work is now under scrutiny for being wrong.
