I'm not claiming they will. I'm claiming they'll reduce your ignorance of the sciences. I'm not the one who came here to spout silly ideas based at least in part in ignorance of the subject matter.
So you're arguing that science textbooks will reduce a person's ignorance of the sciences. And you really felt a need to point this out?
In that case you're right - I really did not make a good show of intellectual competence. Seems I will need to do better.
