I still have a difficult time to understand how a very successful method/system would be published in a book rather than just traded . Unless the return from the sale of the book exceeds the return of the trading system. Anything I missed ?
The Best TA Book Ever Published!!

No you pretty much nailed it 
.
Also I think the book is a general study of different TA approaches, showing where each indicator works best, not necessarily touting a specific signal or a specific system. It will still be up to the individual trader to decide which signals to use and when and how to set stops and decide when to get out.
The success or failure of any TA indicator or collection of TA indicator still comes down to the individual talent and skill of the trader and how he or she uses it/them.
It is no different than a recipe book showing 30 different ways to make beef and the reader has to decide which ways they prefer and apply their individual skills in producing the results. A bit of stretch analogy but the idea is basically there

scientific, objective, statistically valid methods OR subjective tactics verified by anecdotal evidence--- the choice is up to you, that is the bottom line.

Quote from OddTrader:
Whether the author after testing 6,400 signaling rules has found a reasonably profitable way to make a living yet?
LOL 6400 rules that resolve to only two outcomes. Buy or sell.
Why go through all that trouble?

Would you mind transcribing one line of text from page 24 of the book?
Objective TA testing has been done before:
