My point was not that graphics and spelling are 100% analogous, my point was that saying "one aspect of something done poorly enough can make the whole bad" is NOT the same thing as "that aspect of something done well enough makes the whole good." I was responding to a logical fallacy, using an example where the fallacy was more obviously a fallacy. Refusing to play bad looking games is not the same as saying that a game's worth is entirely determined by graphics. The comment "Good graphics do not a video game make" has no place in discussing whether or not bad graphics make a game unplayable in the same way that the comment "Good spelling does not a book make" would have no place in discussing whether or not bad spelling makes a book unreadable.
