"not to be confused with the larger and more well-known book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health." says the article. What use is this disambiguation? We have:
Three words are common to both titles but they use quite different words in different positions. What use is a disambiguation? Terryeo 14:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Re: the cover and the uniforms of the men on it: which some have speculated is a reference to the story of Xenu.
I have made two negative comments above. If the disambiguation is removed and if the weasel worded speculation phrase is removed, the article grows considerably shorter. It is not my intent to criticize. It is my intent to have the article present good, encyclopedic information to the reader. The book itself is immediately available online to a reader if he wishes to explore it. Can we just keep it nice and simple? As with every Scientology article I expect there will be lots of misunderstanding and criticism. Potentially there is the whole misunderstanding of what a 'reactive mind' is and other topics which the book covers. But let us not disperse the reader's attention with speculation by unknown, unreferenced third parties and disambiguations, separating this book from apples and fruitcake, okay ?
