David,
You still don't get it. 'Read my book' is not a valid move in
  a debate. If you were to stand up in front of the Oxford
  Union and say 'my book proves the case entirely' then sat
  down with no further elaboration you lose the debate.
This depends on the relative status of the debaters.  Your status as an 
expert is perhaps less than you perceive it to be.
