I Don't Get It.

The Da Vinci Code.

What's the big deal.

Why is it any worse than any other piece of badly-researched fiction?

Disclaimer: I have not read the book. By saying "why is it any worse than any other piece of badly-reasearched fiction?", I mean "Why do you (you being those who decry it so loudly as The Sum Of All Evil) consider it any worse than any other piece of fiction that you would call badly-researched?"

Huge amounts of the "facts" presented were completely silly.

well, the first paragraph is the premise of the book, it's not supposed to be fact.

The rest, yea that's true. I wasn't trying to debate what you were saying, i was just curious. I'm in the secuirty field so, I was reading the book going..."is that right? I don't think so"

I am in the security field myself, specifically cryptography.
