This question evidently boils down to whether or not you are a true believer in Castaneda. Only a true believer would wonder why others found Castaneda's texts to be inadequate. For the doubter the lack of certainty IS the answer.

I found this dissertation on shamanism and anthropology quite interesting. I think his criticisms of Castaneda lack a little bit of insight - for example, it's not really legitimate to pick out one thing someone said and contrast its meaning with some other off the cuff thing someone else said, but, never the less, very interesting:
