Yes, it’s ok. But I’ve read Scott’s book review now, and I still don’t know why you think having such a list is good, or why it’s ok for the points to be woefully vague. In general, it’s good to explain things.

I’m not parsing this. What are you replying to? Did I say something should be shorter? In fact, I’m saying that your post is too short.
