This is a vast overgeneralization. Note for example that many books are poorly written, and some subjects don't have good books. Moreover, different people prefer absorbing information in different fashions. I'm pretty heavily on the books-yay end of things, but I'm not under an illusion that books are magically good in and of themselves.
True. That means you just have to take the right book.
Not really the fault of books now.
Acceptable thing to say but an rather vague one as "preference" can easily be like that stupid "i has add lol cant read" (an rather extreme one, but humans are not automatically strategic and all that I guess), but admitting that good books has and always been a standard for a wealth of great information is not an understatement.
Most of this is less about books but rather about the information (utility). The only thing that matters is that they get the best bang for their buck. And for that.. books. Correlation, casuation.. eh.. let's keep it simple.
