I think it makes sense to criticize which books a majority of readers chooses to place at the top 100. What she aims at is not the old books themselves, but the preferences of readers, present time.

A group of readers who do not share her particular prejudices. Please read her mostly ridiculous criticisms of each of the books concerned. And, of course, her then condemnation of not only those books but of the current state of science fiction and fantasy writing based on her criticism of those books.
