Have we isolated the writing style with these experiments?

I have no trouble believing that speed reading concise, efficient writers represents a loss of information. But some writers just will not get to the fucking point, and those were the books/classes where I was a little jealous of the speed readers. I need to read and retain about 10% of this garbage, but my brain is not cooperating on skimming.
