"and probably most people would agree with me about one of them—in each case"... So in what sense are these books overrated?https://twitter.com/prospect_uk/status/892419656455081984 …
-
each book is overrated by one very large group and dismissed as overrated by another very large group
Right, that's the wriggle room. But there are presumably books that will be overrated by many, but not dismissed as overrated by many...

Yes, though if the overrating is specific to a social group, then it wouldn't be surprising if it's balanced by dismissal among other groups
-
Right, wriggle room, but formulation still runs into the problem there are presumably other books, overrated, but not balanced by dismissal.
-
not sure that dismissal by one group cancels out overrating by another; the overrating still exists, has bad effects &c
