B.R. Myers 对此有个理论（出自《A Reader's Manifesto》，而不是《The Cleanest Race》）：文化程度较低的人群更偏爱文字游戏。普通大众喜欢对自己不具备的技能叹为观止；而识字的精英阶层，则喜欢炫耀自己的阅读能力……
B.R. Myers had a theory on that (in A Reader's Manifesto, not The Cleanest Race): a less literate people are more fond of word games. The common people like to be awed by a skill they don't have; the elites, who can read, like to show off their ability to read…

……虽然我很喜欢他在这篇宣言中的表达方式，但他绝非孤身一人：Tom Wolfe 在 1980 年代写过《Stalking The Billion-Footed Beast》，有着颇为相似的主题，而 B.R. Myers 的《A Reader's Manifesto》则是较近期出版的；关于它的更多介绍可以看这里：http://jseliger.com/2007/11/12/a-readers-manifesto/ 。
…although I love the way he expresses himself in this manifesto, he's hardly alone: Tom Wolfe wrote Stalking The Billion-Footed Beast in the 1980s, which has some not dissimilar themes, and B.R. Myers' A Reader's Manifesto came out more recently; see more about it here: http://jseliger.com/2007/11/12/a-readers-manifesto/ .

……让我们其他人回望那个作家除了“我是个作家！”之外还有更多话要说的时代——那个小说不只是一段用来给书封勒口上的作者照片配图的、长达三百页的说明文字的时代。”——B.R. Myers，《A Reader’s Manifesto》
…rest of us to look back to a time when authors had more to say than, “I'm a writer!” — when the novel wasn't just a three-hundred page caption for the photograph on the inside jacket.” - B.R. Myers, A Reader’s Manifesto
