As a life-long speed/skim reader, 100+

It's been increasingly pointed out to me that my fiction reading habits, which permit enjoyful re-re-re-reading (the constant surprise of things missed each prior reading) are anti-patterns for legal or technical writing: in these cases reading deep, slow, is far better.

There's nothing wrong with re-reading per se. It's about context.
