Question on the Reading: No Next Chelsea

The author seems to have a great dislike for a large amount of the art at the Chelsea Galleries, stating only one or two things out of fifty shows would really impress a viewer. However, he then says that “you [the reader] and I will be thrown by different things.” So, doesn’t that negate his previous statement, since the reader may be impressed by more/fewer artistic creations than the writer has? Saltz seems to be assuming his audience thinks the same as him one minute, and then acknowledging their differences the next, which tosses a whole section of the article out the window.
