Or maybe the point is that the prestige should not--and never should have--come from just publishing, regardless of how hard it was to do or how exclusive the club was. Maybe, in the field of authorship, it should come from being able to say stuff like "I wrote the book that is considered the definitive work on the subject by the most respected people in the field..." or "...is loved by millions of people..." or "...that led to a cure for cancer..." etc.
