The statistician in me would love those odds. I mean, commercially the difference between an OK book and a garbage book is much smaller than between an OK book and a genius book; so if garbage and genius are equally likely and there's no middle ground, then you have a great expected value.
Anyway, as far as I know that second curve only holds for incomprehensible philosophy books (and essays -- It's how you get essay-generators with output that will pass the peer review of some philosophy journals).

Understandable. Sometimes the quality of the outline and the prose quality can never really be reconciled. Nothing to apologize for.
