The Scout Mindset deserved 1/10th of the marketing campaign of WWOTF. Galef is a great figurehead for rational thinking and it would have been worth it to try and make her a public figure.
I think much of the issue is that: 1. It took a while to ramp up to being able to do things such as the marketing campaign for WWOTF. It’s not trivial to find the people and buy-in necessary. Previous EA books haven’t had similar. 2. Even when you have that capacity, it’s typically much more limited than we’d want.

I imagine EAs will get better at this over time.
