This take is baffling. The implication is that reading fiction makes you superior to nonfiction readers... somehow? And nonfiction can't teach you anything that fiction can?
Have you actually read any books, or is this trolling?

I had a talk with someone earlier who very proudly informed me that they read only nonfiction. When I inquired why (dear God why), they simply said "I like my reading to teach me about the world." I laughed.
All the facts in all the books in all the world cannot teach you any of what fiction does.
