I don't know if it's in the book, but the author had a Youtube video explaining this exact phenomenon.

I'm a fan and pre-ordered the book when it came with a pin. The book is good and well done, but I totally didn't make it through the book -- I guess it's not that kind of book. I think I wish he'd do a "travel" version that my kids could reference on road trips.
