Well, afterall, he is an authority, and too much evidential detail likely would detract from his goal to help the general public improve the ability to identify and understand errors of judgement and choice, in others and eventually in ourselves, by providing a richer and more precise language to discuss them.
You might prefer his scholarly writings over those intended for a general audience:

And you're well served with this response, as the actual work he did is basically not reproducible. No matter how many best selling books made into movies; it's still bullshit.

I believe this is overstated and makes it sound like all of his work is bs, when the majority of the book is just fine.

I'm not sure why is it so. But I love listening to Lex. Unlike many podcast hosts, the way he lets his guests talk is amazing. His questions are well-crafted. His voice is definitely soothing to listen over a long commute!
