I was also disappointed at his analysis. I bought the book when it first came 
out because it promised a direct connection to DQ. But, it failed to connect
the familiar practice of making quick decisions and instant judgments to any
broader prspective. So we see a painting and instantly like or dislike it. So
what? I knew that before I bought the book.
