How many of you own, have access to, or even refer to, the Risk Management Handbook? Would you expect private pilot questions to be based on knowledge of its contents?

I copied it to my iPad in April of last year, shortly before a quick April road trip to a weekend stay at a B&B on the Oregon coast. Made for some odd evening reading (given the locale and intent of the trip) in the lounge overlooking the ocean. I didn't finish it that weekend.
The handbook seemed to take too long to get to its points, such as they were. In an odd sense the discussion of the "accident prone pilot" seemed to highlight the likely futility of the effort: only those who already don't need the advice provided are ever likely to wade through such a tedious tome. Those who need it most are not going to read it except on pain of death. They probably still wouldn't apply any lessons it tries to offer.
I would not expect private pilot questions to be based on its contents, but wouldn't be surprised if they have started doing that.
(I only remember it being April of last year because we met a couple who stayed one night at the B&B who were traveling down the whole west coast. They were from England and taking advantage of days off for the royal wedding, only to find it being "marketed" here in the U.S.)
