As a practical matter, this approach seems to work very well.  By the
time my children have the skill to read a book, they also have the
ability to understand and evaluate the concepts it contains, at least
partially (and really, there is no one who can analyse every book they
read *completely*).

Anyway, I bet plenty of you will agree with me, that reading a certain
amount of material that's "not good for you" is good for you.  Yes?
