That's not the point. I know I am unusual. but even if I am at the top end of 'most active readers' (which I actually know I am not), my example still points out a failure of imagination and/or analysis in this article.

I'll also point out that restricting the analysis to people like myself (and presumably you) who have a full time job is also rather amusing, as I read much more when I was a teenager in high school (and in fact got a part time job in a bookstore to feed my habit / take advantage of an employee discount).

So, you are manifestly an exception and you chastise the author of the original post for not including you, an avowed exception, in his calculation of what most people need.

I am chastising the author of the original post for setting an upper bound that is far too low. I may be unusual, but I am not a complete outlier, there are plenty of folks between myself and his upper bound.
