All down to the nature of "How to win friends and influence people". Interesting concept for marketing. You rarely get someone on your side by slagging them off in public and attacking well-intentioned work even if you disagree with it. When the only resource you have is people, alienating them for whatever reason is not an effective strategy unless perhaps you believe that such alienation will encourage other people to more than compensate for the losses.
