I am dismayed but not surprised, given the authors. I'd love to see the version edited by JDP's mind(s) and their tools. I'm almost certain it would be out of anyone's price range, but what would it cost to buy JDP+AI hours sufficient to produce an edited version?
I also have been trying to communicate it better, from the perspective of someone who actually put in the hours watching the arxiv feed. I suspect you'd do it better than I would. But, some ingredients I'd hope to see you ingest[ed already] for use:

Obviously just one example, but Schneier has generally been quite skeptical, and he blurbed the book.
