Yes, TONS of people knew the Ted Talk Kurz was referencing. Go google?

gO gOoGLe? How about you try to understand my question before you reply? Here, I put the relevant part in bold just for you:

did they expose that it was based on the Ted Talk rather than the book?

I shouldn't have to do this, but apparently I have to point out for you that the problem is that they didn't even read Hari's book.

You lose integrity if you don't adhere to someone else's timetable and think about and address questions that they (and others) have raised?

You lose integrity show your lack of integrity if you stall somebody to produce a video pretending you care about an issue (he said the addiction video was "good enough") when really you just do damage control.
