OT-TJ Cloutier's book

ok im just after reading his tourney book with Tom Mcvoy and i though it was rubbish.
is it just me or does any one agree that there is no way he could have had the success he did .playing like he says in the book. its sooooo weak weak weak tight.
i mean it gets worse as the book goes on.
the AK advice to just fold after the flop no matter what...
the AA advice and the "you never go broke if you limp with AA"...
the PP making a set on the flop advice: if you have 44 and the flop is K J 4 be careful ,some one may have KK...
i mean where do i stop.
i think he tries to teach a risk free method of not only reaching the final table ,but also winning tourneys but it just cant happen that way.
wouldnt not be so simple if that was through ,fold fold fold and play only AA and maybe KK...
also and the end the "practice hands" ,the examples he gives are like:

you have AQ the blinds are 400/800 some one raises to 1500 ,what should you do?
i mean compare this to one of the examples given in HOH ,the level of detail given there is really excellent.
Because he tries to teach that all that info is what makes a hand and not just the cards.
what do you all think?
