Subtitles may well improve literacy, but I would expect that fostering the same love of reading that everyone else in my family has is probably better.
“This scientific effect may well be true, but I’m ignoring it!”
You’re taking this extremely personally for some reason. You clearly said you “detest subtitles”. So you’re not gonna use them, even if there was science saying that they will help?
Why do you think using subtitles would subtract from “fostering the same love of books everyone in my family has”?
I’m not presuming anything. You literally said “I detest subtitles”.
You’re gonna not use them even if they helped your children to learn how to read and even after they know how to read, improved their literacy?
Are you gonna offer either subtitled TV or foster a love of reading in them without showing them any tv? Because if you’re gonna “foster some love of books” in them anyway, but that they are going to still use TV. Then why not add the benefit that using subs have scientifically been shown to have by putting them on? Because you “detest” reading while watching a movie more than a you do having your kids learn?

I think that could be said for your entire response to me. I’ve no interest in further interacting with you. I’ve attempted to relate to you, be friendly in disagreement, and be clear in my position. That’s not working and this interaction is just proving a source of needless stress. Goodbye.

So you just refuse to believe in science. Alright. You do you.
