Sorry. Again!
I should have quoted j.p.s., who said, "They may be a small percentage, but aren't there quite a few first rate authors that are self published?"
My point was, yes, I think that there must be quite a few first rate authors based upon the fact that 1) this gentleman is one, and 2) the circumstances that caused him to leave the traditional publishers are probably faced by other authors like him, and they leave the traditional publishers for the same reason(s) that he did.
The rule is excellent. The quality of the books posted would suffer if the door was opened to
any self-pub.
