I'm familiar with Sturgeon's Law, but as best I can recall, he said '90% of everything is crap - the rest is OK'. Since roughly 10% is probably about as much as the general person will ever get to experience anyway - even if you never stopped reading for your entire life, you would probably not be able to take in more than something like 20% - and since A: one tends to seek out what looks like good stuff to them, and avoid the stinkers, and B: which ones ARE stinkers ultimately comes down to being a matter of opinion, it would seem that it would be fairly easy to stay mostly inside that 10% of good stuff, with a little discretion. (That was a run-on sentence par excellence; sorry.) What I mean is, even if 90% IS crap, that 90% is an amorphous and ill-defined amount that you're not likely to experience much of anyway, unless you intentionally seek it out, so why not judge things instead by the 10% of good stuff that you DO read? And evidently you HAVE kept reading, otherwise you wouldn't be commenting.
