It doesn't work that way. He's not a pundit telling you how to light things...it's a book describing the nature of light as it pertains to photography.
I think you'll find that many of us are totally non-partisan. I own a small pro-level continuous lighting kit that I use for video work. When we say "you don't want to use continuous lights for still photography" we're oversimplifying it to put the pros and cons into a nutshell for those of you with less experience. It's our way of saying, "you can do it if you really want to, but you're going to make life more difficult for yourself if you do."
And that totally changes if you shoot product, or still life, or automotive, or giant set-pieces with limitless budgets like Gregory Crewdson. There's no one answer.
The point of a book like this is that it teaches you to understand light, not understand individual pieces of equipment.
