My point is that CK wasn't necessarily the height of his creative processes or risk-taking - several of his films were taken from his control by the studio and extensively cut. The original negatives - not prints - so we can't definitively say CK is the greatest, "riskiest" movie he ever made as his other films weren't seen the way he made them. IAT touched on a lot of racial taboos which is why much of the footage was destroyed.
I know I'm geeking out on this one, but Orson is my man
And as far as the Paul McCartney reference - I don't think you can compare work done with a group to work done solo. Not only that, "hit song" doesn't always equal "good song."

I kinda found the whole thing kinda "skimmed" over the reasons behind the claims.

As I've gotten older, I've shifted from blondes to girls with much darker features. I've seen the same thing with my friends. Blondes are fun, but...trashy. I've also started dating girls with curves...so you know girls that are a size 2 instead of a size 0. OK OK I'm messing around now, but most guys I know want to marry brunettes.

Thats good because i'm willing to bet that at least 1/3 of the blondes you know are actually brunettes.

Not exactly bull... but more like opinion, opinion without sources or supportive material, and opinion revealing of the authors' particular beliefs about gender and social evolution - and ultimately all designed to push their new book.
