That is minimum level of quality for material worth passing on to future generations.
Really high quality is now reserved for the 1%, and even then, the best is still reserved for a small fraction of them. I had the pleasure (?) of browsing in a very upscale car dealership about a year ago. There was nothing so gauche as a price sticker anywhere, but I know enough about cars to be certain that nothing cost less than $250,000. Was the quality there? Absolutely! Was it my quality to enjoy? Of course not -- unless being a voyeur can be considered enjoyment.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
