I don't think it's crazy. As someone already said the objections are probably related to the examples mentioned on the book (election results and other "controversial" subjects). Crazy is superficial, this is, in my opinion, sad but not crazy or stupid.

Maybe it was a wrong word. I have to see the book to make conclusions, but I doubt that a book on Bayesian statistics may contain something highly controversial that needs to be banned.

And I concur! I just don't think it has to be dismissed as crazy, it's far worse.
