Harry,

You said "Actually, I scanned its content looking for key relationships,
formulas, etc. that form the very basis of physics. Surprisingly, I
found none."

I am pointing to something that is pretty basic and you say that proves 
your point.  It appears to disprove your point.  It appears you are 
really objecting to the fact that he uses lots of words rather than 
equations, but it is hard to tell.  Perhaps you feel Newtonian mechanics 
is no longer a basis of physics.  It is so 17th century right :)
