You mean like you did when you said the vast majority of corporation published books were error free, and yet were unable to point to just one example of the ones you have read?

Here's a list from 1970, most books released that year are under 200 pages (only 1 tops 500, and a couple more that are just over 300 pages).

Here's a list of books published in 2010 so you can compare page counts. All over 300 pages, lots of them over 500 pages.

"The number of non-book-readers has nearly tripled since 1978."
