Perhaps you should question the ghosts absence, instead? That's the diff between a "proper reading" and a questionable one, nothing to do with human beings in the general or any particular human being in the specific.
The "ghost" is there if we are seeking him. Zillions of people have read the scriptures, but they are not seeking the truth. If "he" is really reading with a true openness and a sincere seeking of the truth then I can't say. This is my experience with myself and others and this is what the bible says. I believe I'm right. If I'm not, hopefully I'll become aware of that soon and will change my beliefs.
