This is why I don't trust many of Caro's "tells"

I know this doesn't really answer the specific question, but I don't put a lot of stock in Caro's tells. Granted he does have some good ideas (I think his biggest contribution was "weak when strong" and vice versa), I think watching betting patterns and style of play is going to get you much much farther (Says the mainly online player).

The tells Caro outlines and shows are so obvious and exaggerated for demonstration that I find much of their real-world use degraded. And all of this is on top of such vague paragraphs as the one you describe.

I don't mean this to be a flame of Caro, I think that any information you can gain and use in poker is incredibly valuable. But if there are discrepancies such as this in his works, how are you able to judge the quality of this new information?
