Yep. You nailed it, man. Everyone who watches TV or movies is a big ol' dum-dum consuming real bottom of the barrel entertainment. They should really be doing more enlightened things with their time, like... commenting on Hacker News about things to let people know that they're not involved in the consumption of such drivel.
No - you misunderstand my point. My point isn't to denigrate the viewer, but rather to acknowledge that in some genres the dialog simply isn't the point. Even in the article they appear to acknowledge this, noting that in romcom and whatnot that the audio is more clearly articulated and audible, versus the various examples of action type movies.
