Not one sentence in the book indicates Homer was anything but open minded and non-dogmatic. "Complexity is far more acceptable and workable than mystery is." What a great sentence.
Homer Kelley was a very cool guy. His understanding of Golf Stroke Mechanics had no progenitor. Nor, to date, even a parallel.
Meanwhile, we have today a captained handful of TGM 'nouveau-sect' focused on their own negative bias: Namely, their molehill perception of miniscule error against the mountain of irrefutable fact that is absolutely correct.
Few, if any, of those comprising this sect (which joys in confrontation) ever met the man himself. I find it very curious: These misfits -- they welcome the characterization, at least with regards to TGM -- readily acknowledge their debt to Mr. Kelley. Yet, they then turn their entire attention to damning his work.
