Certainly people who read books on the best seller are not as good as you are; I would never claim that these people are in any way as sophisticated or independent as you are. And of course it's easy for you to use your superior intellect to foresee which books you might enjoy.
For the rest of us, the bestseller lists can alert us to new books that we may not have heard of and that may be interesting. Especially if a book has been on a best seller list for months.
