There is no contradiction. I said that ALL the books in the library have some point for being added, some literary or scientific value, therefor NONE were excluded from my answer to the question about the possible removal of books from the library.

The word nigger didn't exist when the Bible was written, same for the word (and concept of) terrorist, and the Bible didn't have images of any kind. Does it have to contain every example of age-inappropriate content across centuries in order to consider it age-inappropriate as a whole?

So if half of the chapters don't have the F word, the presence of it in the other chapters shouldn't constitute reason for banning. I think I like this logic.
