\\\"Richard Feynman mentioned in his autobiography a case when one publisher sent to the California State Curriculum Commission a schoolbook, but it wasn\\\'t ready for print, so it had empty pages. Six out of the ten members of the commission still rated the book favorably — literally judging it by the cover!. Ironically, it was one of the highest rated books, and according to Feynman\\\'s snarky autobiographical account, none of the other members understood why he hadn\\\'t rated the textbook.\\\"

The Moral: Content in textbooks is so awful that the best textbook is one that has no content at all. [[hottip:*:The writeup is unclear: the first sentence seems to indicate that only some of the pages were empty, but the rest, especially \\\"literally judging it by the cover\\\", can be read to mean that the entire book was empty.]]

Cut natter from the Twilight example and edited it to incorporate it and attempt to clean up the grammar.
