I've said it like a billion times but HOH is a dangerous book. I havent read it, but it only seems to make people make the right move for the wrong reasons and make a wrong move for a wrong reason.

I'm not sure how you can determine "it's a dangerous book" without even reading it. I believe that HoH I & II are both great books (though II does have some really bad hand examples as pointed out numerous times by Andanthar, I believe) and can really speed up the learning curve for a THINKING player.
If your contention is that the material is often being applied wrongly and/or taken too literally by readers, well then I suppose you can try to blame the books. However, I've read both books several times and Harrington is constantly reminding the reader that often there is no one "correct" move for any given situation.
The books strive to teach players how to think about situations and make moves based on the totality of the situation.
