Michael asked this question about The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate: Discoveries from a Secret World:
Why does the author struggle to convey simple scientific information? Also, why does he struggle to get the information technically accurate? Also, why does the author not define his terminology? Also, why does he skim over points requiring scientific examples? Also, why does he lean on subjective ideas rather than using a decent PubMed search? Also, why are a number of his scientific comparisons incorrect?

To accuse someone of being snarky is a little like the pot calling the kettle black here. And to take a poke at someone's profile is a low blow. I do, however, think your advice is good: "lighten up."(less)
