OK, apologies for questioning your sincerity -- I plead "the Internet"
.
Out of curiosity what do you make of the stuff Stan Efferding has to say about Starting Strength at the 1:38:18 mark in this video:
https://youtu.be/Ky7DgrDJB8sStan may not have the reach of Michael Jordan, but is this the sort of thing you have in mind?
I like and respect Stan for endorsing SS. Unfortunately he is to ingrained in power-lifting and "enhanced lifting *cough* Juice *cough*
I would like to see someone from inside SS that has been doing the programs for years and has great results in lifting and coaching. I don't care about what a "enhanced athlete has to say about SS.

It does seem like selling something that works in a field SO filled with crap should eventually win out.
Maybe Rip needs to write a more general book: "Physical Strength: why you want it, how to get it, how to maintain it and how to get it back, if you let it go" - that is aimed straight at the various audiences he sees that might be interested -- young people, athletes and their trainers, doctors, injured people, aging people and, generally, athletes of living -- seems to me there is a lot they have in common when it comes to the basic process and enough material already on this site to bind up with a few essays and maybe find a very wide audience. The message: "Unlike the impression you may get from following the constantly changing advice you find about exercise in the media, we actually do know how to do this and WHY. That's what this book is about."
