You have a point though we also have to guard against coming to think of the 'experts opinions' as holy writ as well. After all the experts also have their own bias as to what they like. In essence everyone is both right and wrong depending on the individual point of view. Course I imagine the argument over what is and isn't literary has been going on since people have been able to read and isn't likely to end soon.
