You're missing a few key points;
>the joy reading something you have had taught to you years ago and blearily remembering it
>the superiority of reading a school-level explanation for a concept you (as a scientist of course) have been long familiar with
>when a plot element is revealed or twist occurs, and you realise in a shock of wry pleasure it's based on real fact, and you should have figured it out chapters ago
