    Yeah, I think this is right to some extent. For the vast majority of people, you're not reading Aristotle for the content (at least not in the sense that's well-captured by a summary). That is, we don't generally read Aristotle because he was right about a bunch of things. The value is in following the chain of reasoning and seeing how it gave rise to many, many of the questions we're still grappling with today. Reading a summary is basically useless, because if you've grown up anywhere in international-community-1 international-community-2, you've already absorbed Aristotle at that level. It's part of the structure of Angloid thought at a deep level.
