Especially in this case since Bradbury himself claimed the story was intended as a warning about the evils of TV instead of a story about censorship.
I got to briefly meet Bradbury on a couple of occasions. For a guy popularly known as a “science fiction” writer (another popular consensus he disagreed with) he was quite the Luddite. If I had to describe his personality I’d probably go with “lovable curmudgeon.”
