Extreme is using the proper definition of objective quality, meaning it's a quality that is possessed and isn't up for debate. Not only that, but if it's an objective quality you shouldn't need to look at the effect on things that came after it to determine it, because that's not a quality, that's an effect of the object.
Uh, do you even like reading? I'm honestly curious, because I've never met anyone genuinely interested in literature express your sort of opinion on what is good and what isn't
I greatly enjoy reading and do it whenever I get the time. I have zero interest in studying the history of literature instead of reading things that amuse me. I see no reason why a lack of interest in the trivia of a subject means no interest in the subject itself.
Seeing the merits of the "good" works even if you don't enjoy them is that level of mature critical thinking that differentiates a minimum-wager from a successful professional in most fields.
I don't think I've ever heard of a field where you could have minimum wage and professional wages with the same education unless you're working outside of your profession. Then again, the level of critical thinking required for most professional degrees not entirely dependent on getting a lucky break mostly revolve around problem solving rather than memorization of trivia.
Literature, the good kind, develops these skills.
So classics have absolutely nothing to do with good literature then? Cause a lot of people are exposed to them and show no significant improvement.

Fight smart, not fair.
