Ritchie and advertising

The corrosive power of advertising and its link to the financial crisis is a major theme in the Courageous State. I’m told it should now be on sale by 14 November. You can get a copy here.
After his commentators take the piss (which, to his credit, he posts), he explains:
I am careful to define the power of the supply of information and to differentiate it from pernicious advertising in the book
That is the modus operandi of the Murph. Say something like "all advertising is evil" and then when told the falseness of his statement clarifies it by saying "what I meant to say was that all advertising except mine is evil" implying that the reader is stupid for not understanding his original statement. Either that or shut down the comments.
