Not to nitpick the parent who is entitled to their option, but I think there's an important distinction to add: I can't detect the difference between average and great sake, but the difference exists. I'm not so great at understanding jazz solos, but others know them better. Similarly, the parent might not see what I see in literature, but I promise that those things exist (and almost certainly, vice versa for some other domain of knowledge). And there are people who see more than I do in the same book - I don't think those things are non-existent because I don't understand them; I just assume that I don't see them yet and, if possible, I work a little harder and try to learn a bit more.
Nobody is born with the expertise in any of this. We're all learning as we go. I promise there is so much to see in literature, something I happen to have spent the time to understand.
