I agree 100%. I think the fundamental flaw in seeking methods to speed read is the inherent assumption that there is an equal tradeoff between higher speed and lower comprehension. Alas, bad comprehension is probably many times more harmful than lower reading speed. So the tradeoff is highly imbalanced due to the highly dissimilar importance weights attached to comprehension and speed.
