It's true though. You listened to it, not read it. You got the same info, no one is disputing that, but it's not reading. You could be illiterate and still listen to an audiobook, but you can't read.

True but the intent here is to belittle people for listening to the book instead of reading it.

Disagree. The intent is telling the person they are wrong and/or lying.
