      Jeremy Stangroom Retweeted Prospect Magazine

      "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 …

      Okay, because I didn't spell this out... It's odd to say most people agree that the book you think is the most overrated is overrated.

      But it's not - that's an erroneous argument. I understand what you want to say, but there's no contradiction here. /1

      First, no book comes close to being revered by most people in the world. Those two are as widely revered and influential as any. /2

      Second, with almost any other book, most people either like it or haven't heard of it. A book has to be hugely influential... /3

      ...for a large number of people to have a negative opinion of it. Thus only a highly rated book can be widely considered overrated. /4

      So, while it may seem like a contradiction at first glance, it is almost a necessity that a "most overrated" book will be considered... /5

      ...as such by many. An extraordinarily broad negative opinion is earned with extraordinary influence. /end

      Your logic misses a step. You don't allow that a book might be extremely influential and popular, yet not widely considered overrated...

          "Widely considered overrated" is too narrowly worded. Few people would ever think in those terms. 1/2

          But those who dislike/hate/dismiss an oft-praised book would presumably _agree_ that it's overrated. 2/2
