having or showing knowledge of literature, writing, etc.; literary; well-read.
I don't see "able to listen" in that definition.
Strikes me as a deliberately accurate statement. |
Except for the part where you dismiss the possibility of one person being both very literate AND a listener. It's not an either/or thing. Some highly literate people listen to audiobooks. To deny that is pointless. The direct connection you're implying between literacy and how someone chooses to consume books is fictional (as well as being a textbook example of a
non sequitur).
