Wow, this was a very difficult one. It's the best I've been able to do with this dataset. It isn't the best I've seen by a long shot, but it is better than I expected considering the transparency of the sky there last weekend:

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
