The subjective personal satisfaction of some does not preclude a thing from being objectively and quantifiable poorer than another thing that (sensibly enough) likely leaves more people with that same or greater subjective personal satisfaction.
Good typesetting won't make everyone love a given piece--but do we agree that it (good typesetting) exists, and its presence or absence is (however imprecisely) quantifiable, and even testable, and its impact is primarily on readability or ease/pleasantness of reading (considerations that ought to be chief for a person who does a lot of reading)?
Because to me these all feel pretty fundamental points... and I get the sense with some regularity, that others disbelieve at least some of them.
