You can be excused for being uneducated but dismissing an author you don't seem to have read just seems absurd.

This is a really strange take. There are many books or authors I wouldn't read and can easily dismiss. Like The Turner Diaries by William Luther Pierce. I can easily dismiss that book and its author on the merit that I wouldn't take anything away from it, based on its premise.

Well, William Pierce is not generally considered a paragon of English literature, so it's not quite the same thing.
