Well, if it isn't true, "The Rodwell Files" wouldn't have been written :-).

But yes, where the "play books" are dated is in the information they glean from the auction (yours and theirs). But since the "how to analyze the auction" parts are still valid (even though the information is different), the tools being taught transfer.

Absolutely. But as I noted here and elsewhere, a page or two of preface explaining the dated bidding agreements and carding agreements would make it all transfer more easily.
If Wikipedia survives AI, such an explanation could even be provided without reprinting the old book.
