Now Baka means "idiot".<br/><br/>Makes you look to "respect for people" from another perspective. Same goes for dummies :) I’ve lately read “Toyota Production System” by Taiichi Ohno and to my surprise, he’s not talking of “poka yoke” but of “baka yoke”. Now Baka means “idiot”.

I noticed in the back of the book, they list some online lean resources, including this blog and many others on my "Blogroll" list of blogs. I won't let that influence my review.

It's an extremely popular brand name that's done well and many people like the books as great references without feeling like they are a dummy for buying it. Just because it's about lean shouldn't change that fact. I think you're reading way too much into it. I think you were off-base on your review of Lean for Dummies.
