If I said this book makes a synecdoche error, would you understand my meaning?

Synecdoche, a term from rhetoric covered in a recent post.


Click here, then scroll up and read the review of Kurweil's HHMM book to see why I think the error is an example of synecdoche.

Here, I am conveying how to apply what you learn in rhetoric to constructive criticism of scholarly work. ( This comment takes nothing away from Ray Kurweil's demonstrated brilliance and insights. We should count ourselves lucky to have one such insight. He has had many. )
