Sorry, sorry. I wasn't attempting to correct you, but to agree with you and expand on your thought.
It doesn't entirely defy logic to say "People who do A at least 80% of the time are less likely to spend the remaining 20% on B than vice versa," though. I just don't think it happens to be true in this case.
Mostly because I know a lot of lit fic readers who wouldn't touch a "genre" book with a ten foot pole and try to rationalize why books like The Eyre Affair aren't actually sci-fi so they can read them. Man, I hate those people.
