Re: The real answer

Frankly, I think the anger such "blindness" engenders is de-emphasized too often. Particularly in a case like this, because my mood and my feelings about the publisher do influence my book-buying, and these are legitimate factors in said book-buying. We're not talking textbooks, we're talking leisure reading. How I feel about it is kind of the point.

Yes. Not only is blindness not a thing to aspire to, but it so often ends up being code for "blindness to my own socially-cultivated biases."
