Actually I think legibility is a bit of a requirement for the content. Trying to overstate his position to the point it's ludicrous doesn't make yours any better. It's a cheap tactic.

I don't think you can equate a mass-produced printed copy of a book to an original hand-written document or a painting. They have the hand of the artist on them. The vast majority of smudgy old books, don't. They were designed by a print house to carry the content. That's like worshiping a shipping crate someone packaged the precious Van Gogh in. It doesn't get you any closer to the painting.
