The meaning is obvious if subjective. One who will form the habit of reading higher literature and learn to engage critically and deeply with the texts. Contrast this with the millions that exclusively read trashy YA. How to generalise this into criteria for reproducible academic publishing is not.

Also, how does one quantify what a "good" reader is in order to do reproducible research?
Yes. And feeding children slop will not create a " reader " it will most likely create young adults with no taste who will spend their lives reading bad books

He says that reading slop will not make you a good reader, it will just create a habit of seeking out slop and that reading extraordinarily bad books is not necessarily better than not reading at all

I can already see a faux Trump GOP puppet campaigning on "the crazies who wasted your money on these climate change fads"
