I don't think he's saying he literally thinks slower than 80 WPM. I interpret this to mean the rate at which he writes his thoughts down matches the amount of time it takes him to think of what he wants to write next or how he wants to phrase the next sentence. When I am writing research papers there are long pauses between sentences as I think of what I want to say next or how I want to phrase the sentence. That doesn't mean there are long pauses between sentences in my thoughts throughout the day.

I don't see the distinction you are making. I get that it is not a constant stream of words at that rate, but you still described thinking at roughly eighty words a minute. Right?

And I have no clue how that actually stacks up. Eighty looks like a small number, but that is more than this whole post.
