> If a book was written by a ghost writer, or a team of ghost writers, does that make it less of a book? Not worth reading? Less of a book? No, that has an agreed-upon, physical meaning.

If someone or some group hires a ghost-writer, they're demonstrating they don't care about authenticity in the first place, and hence do not put in the work to make the ghost-written book work.
