My thought is that any whole grain has a husk that is insoluble.

You said there that you consider Fiber Menace to be mostly true and I think I agree, even though James Sloane pointed out a number of errors in Fiber Menace. He said the microflora require soluble in order to live (and we need the microflora to be healthy, of course) and that fiber is the only source of a vital nutrient, silica.
You also said there:

Fiber is important, but there are many types of fiber, they need to be balanced in the diet. Excess fiber, fiber supplements and fiber in grains shred my intestines and halt the digestion process. It’s like passing cement. There’s been blood and clogged toilets. TMI? Well I wish someone would have shared the info in this book with me 10 years ago and saved my intestines from trauma and myself from discomfort. Excess water doesn’t help me. It flushes essential minerals from my body, like magnesium and potassium, both of which are critical to hydrate the colon and keep digestive muscles responsive.

Well, if you can point to any online sites that show data for rice bran being insoluble fiber, I'd take note, but the site of data I found said it has only soluble fiber. So I'm going with that until I see data showing otherwise. I believe rice bran contains silica, the nutrient. I agree that excess fiber probably leads to constipation etc. Yesterday and today I've had much better bowel movements without extra laxatives besides vitamin C.
By the way, Sloane also said that hydroxides are caustic and can damage the GI tract and cause cancer. And milk of magnesia is a hydroxide. I wish I'd read that a week earlier before I took 3 or 4 tablespoons of it.
