Well, I think it depends on how we look at that statment (Though I would point out that Bill Gates is actually suppose to like a good cheesburger)... if it is looked at as consious snobbery... i.e., most people are not smart enough or good enough to read my books... then it absolutely is part of the problem. On the flip side though, one of the joys of print fiction is that it doesn't have to be entertainment pointed at the lowest common denominator. You don't have a need in an action novel to add a romantic subplot to keep the interest of the reader's S.O. for example.
