Well said jjw. One must be led by experimental results; however, sometimes scientists become so dogmatised that when a new experiment leads to "better working formulas that stand up to reality", they do not even want to consider it objectively. I do not think the latter applies to McCutcheon's book. It is my belief that his teachers in physics erred by stopping his course on classical mechanics before teaching him the fundamentals of rotational motion.
