I've actually pirated the epub to have a look what all the fuss is about.

It's incredible how half-assed the book is. The argumentation is worse than /pol/ranting, it's just Non Sequiturs and 'I am the greatest'. What the editor didn't look at is the footnotes - Milo (like so many US 'conservatives') uses footnotes on his writing to make his claims look more scientific, hoping that nobody checks them out. What becomes apparent is that all the footnotes are to press releases, never to scientific publications. I've found press releases from beauty parlors accompanying his claim that women are weaker.
I can understand how the publisher said it's unpublishable, this level of argumentation wouldn't fly in High School.
