The analyses I mentioned in another comment, saying they might be
dangerous, are also quite useful. The specific ideas he analyzes are
often hard to find even mentioned elsewhere.
What’s useful about the analyses is that they are fairly detailed case
studies. They weren’t written just to show that the ideas were wrong, or
warn of making similar mistakes, but to give a feel for how the ideas
seemed to the people who came up with them.
Could you give some examples?
