>but does that make writing a book wrong?

No, it means you should be more careful what you include in your book. The problem isn't isn't that authors write books on emerging science, the problem here is that they overly trust small studies and present them as stronger evicence than they are.

As the author of the article said if Kahneman was writing the book later it wouldn't be nonexistent but different and with some chapters missing.
