In my experience, books that sell poorly have not garnered disgust and revulsion in a significant number of readers -- they really can't, because they sold poorly. They just didn't sell, usually because of bad marketing decisions rather than adverse word-of-mouth among readers. It's almost always oblivion rather than rejection that causes books to sell badly. Bookstores would just rather use computer numbers and not bother their heads.
