I beg to differ.

First, I would say that I would read one of your articles before I would read any of the people you listed.

Second, I have read articles by people in that list which have as much scientific backing as the Laws of Attraction. One joker said "just say no" when talking about how to deal with psychological issues.

Popularity and financial success are not proof of quality. If they were, the National Enquirer would be winning Pulitzer Prizes.
