> What's the point of listening to 3 books per day? You need time to digest the ideas in a book.

Agreed, but sometimes there's value in having broad exposure ASAP.

e.g. learning what tools/techniques are available in a given discipline

e.g. learning enough jargon to Google for deeper exposure

This can be helpful in cross-disciplinary contexts. Perhaps you don't need to truly understand Statistics, for instance, but you're working on a problem in which you've binned a matrix of values into deck-of-card-like suits and you want to evaluate how "good" each choice was within its local context. It would help to know terms like "categorical variables" and "goodness of fit".
