Oh, if they were good I’d probably have heard of them then?
There was a time you’d never heard of any of your favourite writers. But then you did and you enjoyed them. If you’d dismissed them with a “how good could they be if I’ve never heard of them?” you’d never have discovered them. Don’t be a twit.
