The evidence I am about to ask for may exist! However, I am still comfortable asking for it, as without it the whole thing falls apart, and I think this class of argument really always needs to show this explicitly: can you show that literally anyone reads the “modern Centennial Edition of Etiquette released in 2022?”
I don’t think it’s wildly popular, but it has around 500 reviews on the Canadian Amazon, which seems okay for a reference book, and is similar to the number of reviews for If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies. I think they keep making new editions because it’s popular enough. I don’t know how to estimate more precisely than that.
