Keep at it, you may yet convince him.
Personally, I have no problem with genre so long as the story/plot/characters is something I enjoy.
For some reason, that does seem to preclude most non-Speculative Fiction...
(I do enjoy Agatha Christie and certain other classics. Yet to find anything recent that I like.)
Is that worrying?
