I forget the mans name, but he was proposing that his hugely popular success proved he was a better writer that all the guys who won prizes and recognition for scholorly works.
he said if they had the skills , they would write a popular novel, get a bunch of money, and then return to serious works . he said this proved he possessed skills these serious writers lacked, since they were never as well read or remunerative as his works.
The Godfather either proved him wrong, being a singular event from a scholarly writer , or was the exception.
