Well, yes, if they didn't take into account different tastes and reading preferences, then that's about what one can expect. My personal experience is that either a person likes and enjoys science fiction (in which case they never find it less worthwile) or they don't and only read it when they feel they have to, for one reason or another (peer pressure, nothing else at hand at the moment, a significant other recommended etc.) In the latter case they almost always find it not to their taste and often take a disdainful stance 'oh, it's not true literature, after all'. I don't personally know anyone who reads science fiction because they like it and at the same time finds it less worthwile.
