BTW, why is this thread turning into a crapstorm...? The title itself is a troll. Share your opinion (yes, it's not a fact), and be civil. For example: after almost two years of rather fruitless Japanese study, I blazed through Heisig 1 in several months and my Japanese understanding exploded. I know it was Heisig because I was studying it almost exclusively during that time. It is THE most efficient way I can even imagine to have learned the meanings of 2000 kanji and kept them straight consistently for just a few minutes of study a day. I know there are other great study methods that other people prefer, but having tried many, and understanding that learning the language ASAP with retention is the priority, Heisig wins hands down. So, "How can anyone POSSIBLY argue against the Heisig method...?"
