Out of curiosity, have you read it?

The core of the book is pretty interesting and has broad applications, but I didn't feel like there was anything said after the first few chapters that wasn't clear in those first chapters..

Though to be slightly defensive of your brother, Taleb did release a revised edition of the book earlier this year. So maybe he thinks the new chapter is really, really important.
