One useful thing about summaries for good high information density books like Rob's[0] is that they're a good way to help anchor information found in the book. Which will help you remember the key points in context.
They also present you with alternative takes which can sometimes help in seeing the information from an alternative viewpoint which can also be really valuable.
So from that perspective even though there's some ground covered by a summary, I don't think of them as a replacement for a well written book.
